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’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’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.
