Re: [cobirds] Yellow Grosbeak (Larimer) - just wondering...

Hmmm, it appears that YEGRs have been seen in AZ, NM, CA, CO and IA, so perhaps an occasional appearance isn't out of order. You may recall that one was seen in Huerfano Cty in May of 2021.

I was pleased to have the chance to see the Yellow Grosbeak in Estes Park today. Even so, I find myself wondering if anyone on this group has considered (perhaps privately?) that it might be an escaped cage bird? How would one know? Given that this bird is a solid 1,000 miles out of range, without any obvious weather phenomenon to explain its presence, is it unreasonable for me to wonder?

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, sorry if it comes across that way. I'm just a curious guy...
