[SBB] Another Rose-breasted Grosbeak



This morning (Mon, Aug 21) a female (or possibly immature) ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK was seen along Guadalupe River between the spillway at the Water District and Blossom Hill Road.
 
The bird had a very dark head off-set by a wide white stripe extending over the eye to the back of the head.  The nape was grayish, and the breast and flanks were heavily streaked.  Two wing bars were also noted.
 
The bird was seen associating with immature HOODED ORIOLES in low willow thickets, but then took off heading south toward the larger, denser willows at the spillway where I lost sight of it.
 
Also of interest were three VAUX'S SWIFTS seen with a mixed flock of Violet-green, Cliff and Barn Swallows.
