Ben Douglas and I just found a BLUE GROSBEAK in Washington Co, at 95th and Hemingway in Cottage Grove. At 9:55, the bird flew SW toward the Grey Cloud Dunes SNA. I suspect the bird may return to this spot. It was singing about 100 yards west of Hemingway on private land, just north of 95th (accessible via Jamaica Ave, south from 10/61). Parking and public shoulder on Hemingway. I posted audio in the MN Birding Facebook group. Ben got doc shots to upload later. If accepted, this will be a first county record for Washington Co.
