Hi all -
This morning at Discovery Park (in Seattle) , I came across 2 PINE
GROSBEAKS near the South Parking Lot. Yay!

As of 12:35, they were still present, feeding in a Madrone tree.

Both had all gray undersides, one with yellowish on the head & rump,
the other more russety/purplish.
The best way to locate and relocate them was to listen for the pretty
loud 'fi-leep fi-leep' call they were making.

I first heard one a while before 9:00, and it wasn't until 9:00 that
I finally got good looks. From 9-10, at least one was staying around
the South Parking lot. From 10:30 - noon I didn't hear them, but then
at a bit after noon, 2 reappeared and stayed until I left at 12:35.

The last location I saw them was north north east, out of the north
end of the South Parking Lot. In general, they seemed to be sitting
up at the tops of various trees.

1:50 pm Update: I just got a call from Penny Rose and Marv Breece.
They are on the scene, watching the PIGR right now.
