If you look on my spottings you will see one. From a distance can be mistaken for a Western Bluebird with the color, but there is a kinda black shadow over the eyes, bill is different shape and a small crest.

The Grossbeak has been spotted by someone for sure! The bunting wood be a treat. Could it not be mistaken for a blue bird?

I was actually looking for a Lazuli Bunting and Black Headed Grosbeak. So this was a surprise.
