I just returned from the city of rocks and wanted to let everyone know that we were able to relocate the blue grosbeak. It took us several tries and we waited each time probably over an hour, so the bird is not coming up near the road. You have to watch the Willows at a distance. The exact coordinates were
N42.066940
W113.516876
Also in the same area I believe I saw a male lark bunting. It only flew up briefly and I was the only person to see the bird. I did not put it on eBird since I didn’t get a long look and we were never able to confirm it. But it would be worth watching for if anyone goes to the area. Birding was still fantastic despite the heat:-)
