The previously posted Washington County Blue Grosbeak returned around 11 AM and was still present when Ben and I left around noon. Several other birders heard and saw the bird, slightly north of the spot where I originally reported it.
In the first email, I wrote that the bird was on Hemingway Ave, just north of 95th St, but on Google Maps, the road we were on has no name, and the next N/S road to the east is marked "Hemingway." (I believe both roads have street signs that say "Hemingway.") To make things easier, here are coordinates to the spot on the road where we were standing when we last saw the Blue Grosbeak to the west (almost all the way to the Anderson Electric building). 44.813631, -92.952243 NOTE: all of the surrounding land is PRIVATE, but there is public parking on the unmarked N/S street indicated with the above coordinates, as well as a sidewalk on the east side and mowed shoulder on the west side.
