This morning at about 8:30, the male BLUE GROSBEAK was singing from the
top of the lowest sycamore in the gulch at Ed Levin Park. I went
farther up the trail looking for Grasshopper Sparrows and had no joy.
However, I got another great look at the Grosbeak on my way down about
10:15.
Interesting to see was a pair of LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE on the barbed wire
fence next to the road on the way around the lake. They were finishing
breakfast and were storing the remains - a bit of brownish gray fur, a
tail and some trailing entrails, on one of the barbs of the fence. The
one bird kept shifting and poking trying to get it more firmly stabbed
on the fence - behavior read about but not actually seen before.
