Piranga ludoviciana
In the Cardinal family. Face is red fading to yellow body. Dark wings and tail with yellow and light wing bars.
Busy trees near streams.
If you look on my spottings you will see one. From a distance can be mistaken for a Western Bluebird with the color, but there is a kinda black shadow over the eyes, bill is different shape and a small crest.
The Grossbeak has been spotted by someone for sure! The bunting wood be a treat. Could it not be mistaken for a blue bird?
I was actually looking for a Lazuli Bunting and Black Headed Grosbeak. So this was a surprise.
wow amazing! Must have been a sight to behold!
