Blue on the Line

Some blue grossbeaks (Passerina caerulea) were around last spring, I do hope that they return this year. I lived right at the edge of their breeding and migration zones.

"A large, vibrantly blue bunting with an enormous silver bill and chestnut wing bars, the male Blue Grosbeak sings a rich, warbling song from trees and roadside wires. He and his cinnamon-colored mate often raise two broods of nestlings in a single breeding season. A bird of shrubby habitats, these richly colored birds can be hard to spot unless you hear them singing first. They are widespread but not abundant across the southern U.S. and are expanding their range." - allaboutbirds.org
