[EBB Sightings] Rose-breasted Grosbeak in Lafayette

East Bay Birders . . . .

My very excited friend (Pat Doughty) called this morning to tell me  
she had "something very different" at her backyard feeder.  She  
asked, "What does a Rose-breasted Grosbeak look like?"  It didn't  
take long to realize that, indeed, a male Rose-breasted-grosbeak was  
her new feeder visitor.  It had stopped by twice for sunflower seeds  
before noon.  I rushed over but, of course, it was nowhere to be seen  
by the time I got there.  Dear Pat has been sitting watching at her  
window all afternoon to no avail.  She lives on Somerset Place in the  
Burton Valley area, so if you live over that way, keep an eye out!

Best birding to you all,
