Title: An ID please...
Post by: bernie2112 on July 30, 2008, 10:34:17 AM

Saw this bird by Lynde Shores yesterday. I can't find it in Peterson...any help would be appreciated.

I thought it might be a white throated sparrow but the little bits of red and buff in the breast and wings are throwing me off.

Cheers,

Bernie Monette

It's a first year male Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
