Yesterday's sighting of the immature Rose-breasted Grosbeak is the latest ever of this species seen in Prospect, besting 11/8/2003's date of a female seen by Ron Ellard at the Terrace Bridge. Incidentally, its possible a 10/25/09 ( last month ) of two RBGR seen at the Wellhouse by Rafael Campos might be one of the birds sticking around.So, if it continues to hang out, the further the new record goes, perhaps even making it a possible outstanding sighting for the December 19th Christmas Bird Count .. ( but that would be stretching it).
