Blue Grosbeak (Male)

Ramsey Canyon Inn (B&B)

A pair was nesting on the right side of the road leading out from the Ramsey Inn complex about two feet off the creek that washes over the road.
The pair visited the Inn's bird feeders; tried to get an image of the female, but no luck. I was surprised to see two species in Arizona - Blue & Rose-breasted Grosbeaks.
The male appeared to be molting; maybe the males are less bright blue here in Arizona as opposed to Virginia.
