The female BLUE GROSBEAK continues on gravel road section of Bluegrass Lane, south of Hanshaw, well east of Warren Rd.
I saw the bird today, 14 Oct 2013, at 12:58 pm, and had it in view about 6 minutes. It was in the same spot where it was originally found: in the very SW corner of the corn east of the road, just north of the chain-link fence. I watched it forage in the corn along the edge for several minutes. It once flew up and perched high on top of a corn stalk, but spent most of the time about chest height in the leaves of corn. It eventually flew off to the SW into the corn patch just west of the road, just north of the last barn. It was calling consistently the whole time (which is how I found it). I had walked around those areas for a while before I found it. I suspect the best strategy would be to sit at the NW corner of the fence and watch that corner of corn. The bird seems to be coming back there, so sitting and waiting might be best. Plenty of sparrows to keep your attention while you wait (Song, Swamp, White-throated, White-crowned, House).
