This morning I found and photographed a male Blue Grosbeak about a mile east and 3/4 mile north of Danube on 300th St. There is a gravel pit on both the east and west sides of 300th St about 1/4 mile south of 840th Ave. The Grosbeak was in the northeastern corner of the gravel pit on the west side of 300th St. You can probably see it fine with binoculars, but a scope may help. I may have seen a female only briefly.
This is 1 mile west and 3/4 mile north of the Olivia brush site where Joel Schmidt and Randy Frederickson discovered a Blue Grosbeak family in 2012. I went to that site first specifically to look for Blue Grosbeaks but did not see any there. eBird list with pictures: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S19269885 Josh Wallestad http://www.aboywhocriedheron.com ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
