Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) (2)
- Reported May 09, 2026 17:15 by R. B.
- Elings Park, Santa Barbara, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.7349691&<ll...>,-119.7349691 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S337856884 - Comments: "As I was taking a video of an Allen's Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) I heard a noise in the bush behind me. At first, I doubted my identification skills. Soon I saw him (Rose-breasted Grosbeak) again, and this time I was 100% sure that it was him. Furthermore, he had a mate! Sadly, I could not get a photograph in time."
