    This morning at about 8 am, my wife Adele and I saw a male Rose-breasted =
    Grosbeak
    in Robertson Park in Livermore, in the tall Eucalyptus trees just south =
    of the horseshoe
    court, on the mail park road 1/4 mile east of Arroyo Road, just south of =
    College Avenue.
    This is my first Rose-breasted Grosbeak in Livermore in 33 years of =
    birding.
    
    It was feeding on Lerp Psyllids (sp?), along with a number of Yellow =
    Warblers and
    Western Tanagers.  After a few minutes, it left, and we could not find =
    it again in the next
    hour.  There are  dozens of Red-gum Eucalyptus trees with Lerps, =
    attracting many
    vireos, warblers and tanagers, and the willows along the creek have =
    Pacific-slope and
    Willow Flycatchers.  An Olive-sided Flycatcher was there last Wednesday.
    
    To reach Robertson Park from Highway 580, take the Portola Exit to N. L =
    St., and
    follow it south past College, where it becomes Arroyo Road, then turn =
    left just over the
    bridge.  Or, from the east, take Vasco south to Tesla, west to =
    Concannon, left to
    Robertson Park Drive, right past the stadium to the horseshoe court.
    
    Good birding,
    
    Art Edwards
