[cobirds] Rose-breasted Grosbeak--Lakewood/Jeffco

Migrants continue to make it through the backyard here in Green Mtn/Lakewood.  Today, I had a immature male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, several Western Tanagers, and a possible female Indigo Bunting.  The Rose-breasted Grosbeak never visited the platform feeder a few feet away but stayed an hour eating Golden Elder berries.  In the afternoon I was able to see the Little Blue Heron at Lowell ponds.  If you go looking for thr bird make sure to park in the parking lot that is on the south side of the river.  The bird was on the pond on your left.  Photos of both the Little Blue Heron and Rose-breasted Grosbeak can be seen in the gallery below:
