As a follow-up to the recent post by Laura Dornan, I was also at the same blue grosbeak site mid-morning today with the opposite results. I spent ~30 minutes there, but did not see any blue grosbeaks. However, there was a grasshopper sparrow singing regularly from the top of a rose tangle there. Also, further back north up Stingy Rd. immediately across the road from a log yard, I saw one lark sparrow on the ground in the gravel parking area. All this just goes to show that everything depends on when you are at a particular spot - even it is the "right" spot!
