[cobirds] Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Poncha Springs, Chaffee County


Hellobirders,
 
Saw one Saturdayafternoon along the Arkansas River at the Poncha Springs 
Frisbee park, a sort ofmini-Hutchinson Ranch. The RBGR was intently combing 
Gambel oak flowertassels with its beak, gleaning insects I suppose, singing 
between bites. (Sorry, shouldhave posted this to eBird, but got busy with 
convention chores.}
 
Per eBird onlytwo previous sightings in the area in the past five to eight 
years, both by CFO&rsquo;s excellentartist & Salida local, Sherrie York. 
 
Aftertaking a photo of the Rosie, I moved a few feet to get a different 
perspective,and saw in my camera&rsquo;s viewfinder a Black-headed Grosbeak. A 
sudden morph? No,but what were these two cousins doing so close? Probably 
competing for the Gambeloak grove and its insects. Two 
photos:http://bit.ly/1HY70jICheers,TomWilberdingBoulder,Colorado
