| Blue Grosbeak Guiraca caerula, first-winter.
| We discovered an immature Blue Grosbeak
by the road at the north end of the Salton Sea, a species which we
don’t record every year in California. It was the precursor to a very
good day which included good numbers of Yellow-footed Gulls, a Ruff and a Franklin’s Gull amongst many others.
