There are plenty of birds with shades of blue in their plumage, but one of our all-time favorites is the Blue Grosbeak--two of which we banded "This Week at Hilton Pond."
This big-billed and blue Neotropical migrant is the topic for our current photo essay for the long "week" of 22-31 July 2005 and can be viewed at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek0507022.html
As always we include a tally of all birds banded and a list of significant recaptures. There's also a description of our best week so far this year for Ruby-throated Hummingbirds--plus a comment about some interesting American Goldfinches that showed up together in a mist net.
I'm happy to respond on BirdForum to any questions or comments you have about Blue Grosbeaks.
Happy Nature Watching!
