AlexHenry Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 May 8 2023 California. Lazuli Bunting is common and there were several present in the area (as well as a flock of Black-headed Grosbeaks). Blue Grosbeak is also possible at this date and location but pretty uncommon. Thoughts on this bird? Just a Bunting? Maybe a Blue Grosbeak? Or Passerina sp?

Snake Fingers Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Beak doesn’t give me Grosbeak vibes but it’s hard to tell. No experience with any of those birds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirstarling89 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 That is a Lazuli Bunting female, a blue grosbeak would have a noticeably more thicker bill while the Lazuli Bunting females have a darker back and a bit of a blue wash that comes with it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
