Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) (1)
- Reported Jul 20, 2026 06:49 by Craig Prater
- Coal Oil Point, Santa Barbara, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.8816409&<ll...>,-119.8816409 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S374400777 - Media: 1 Audio
- Comments: "Heard only in UCSB parking lot 2642 high up in a cedar tree. Heard for maybe 30 seconds with repeated sound ID from Merlin and then went silent or flew away. Have added audio clip which also includes Merlin IDs of Oak Titmouse and California Towee, both of which were heard by me as well, but from different directions than the call that Merlin IDed as the grosbeak."
