It drummed and foraged on a dying madrone about 25 ft. from our rear deck. It was present for only about 10 minutes. This morning, I looked out our kitchen window to see who was at the seed and saw several STELLAR'S JAY, a WESTERN SCRUB-JAY, an ACORN WOODPECKER, and a BREWER'S BLACKBIRD. As I thought, "All we need is for a grosbeak to join them", a male BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK flew in. I note this because, while we see all of these birds in our yard from time to time, it's rare to see them all together. Our yard is on the northeast side of Skyline Blvd. and inside Santa Clara County at 2,170 ft. (there's a USGS benchmark nearby). Across the road is Long Ridge Open Space Preserve and San Mateo Co.
