Title: Blue Grosbeak High Park
Post by: randallpink on May 26, 2017, 01:16:35 PM

In case anyone hadn't heard,  there's an adult male Blue Grosbeak that's been at high park since Wednesday. I was there this morning and was still  there and seen by many. At the top of the trees in the oak Savannah just west of the baseball fields. Check the original posts on ONTBIRDS for the location and a map. Good luck!

I dropped by around lunch time and saw it briefly before it flew away deeper into the park. It was reported again later in the afternoon. Despite challenging conditions I managed to get a couple of ID shots - it was a lifer for me.
