Hello Birders, This morning multiple people reported a Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the northwest corner of the CSU Environmental Learning Center in Fort Collins. When I chased the bird this afternoon, I found a grosbeak singing softly in the same area it was first reported, and at first I thought it was a Rose-breasted. However, once I got better looks and other birders started arriving, it became apparent that the bird was a hybrid!! Multiple people saw the bird this afternoon, but I don't think many got photos, so I thought I would share this with the birding community. It is a very intriguing individual, and I'm sure other hybrids similar to this one can potentially be seen along the Front Range. Photos and a more in depth description of the bird are on the checklist below. https://ebird.org/checklist/S68624832 Happy Migration! Joe Kipper, Fort Collins
