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
