I was up on Camano Island this past weekend and am 95% positive that I saw a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Their western-most range looks like Alberta/Northern BC...When researching further, I read that RBGR can hybridize with Black-headed Grosbeaks, and that the bird can look like either parent or can be a mix of the two. Has anyone else spotted a RBGR in Washington before? Thoughts? Thanks!
