[cobirds] CORRECTION: yearling (not adult) male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Fruita, Mesa Co. (continuing), 05/08/24

The male Rose-breasted Grosbeak first seen yesterday morning in our yard in Fruita by my wife showed up again last night (while I was gone) and again several times this morning between 6:00-9:15 am. It appears to be a yearling (i.e., second-year, SY) male rather than adult (as first reported) based on the wing pattern. Which makes it the third different individual in our yard in May over four years.
