Dave Weth found a Blue Grosbeak at Evergreen Lake in Woodford County, IL on Saturday, July 11. I relocated it the next day. The bird was West of the water pump house and just West of the Woodford County line sign on the North side of the road. He was taking turns singing with a male Indigo Bunting, sitting in the tree next to His tree. The Indigo Bunting would sing. Then the Blue Grosbeak would answer, back and forth. In order to get photos of the Blue Grosbeak, I had to bushwhack through some tall grass, and I ended up picking up five ticks.
While on my way to find the grosbeak, I photographed an Eastern Kingbird and an American Kestrel near the South end of the lake in McLean County.
Just before I found the Blue Grosbeak, I photographed this young Eastern Bluebird in Woodford County.
