Hi all,

I wouldn't normally report a Black-headed Grosbeak, bur eBird acts like it's a rarity this time of year. And it (mine) doesn't show up on the map. I walked along Connelly Creek (south Bellingham) this morning, and spotted it up high in a cottonwood, or anyway a high deciduous tree. There was some chasing going on up high, which attracted my attention. I don't know if the B-h Grosbeak was involved, but there it was in plain sight (thru my binoculars). Another sighting of this species was made yesterday but someone else at a different location near Bellingham.
