Kent, Thomas H. (Thomas Hugh), 1934-
|
Black-headed Grosbeak
|
Coralville Lake
|
Coralville Res., Johnson Co., IA
|
Bird was in old willows at edge of reservoir.
|
The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The brown color most closely matched that shown by Peterson (1980) for the male Black-headed Grosbeak. The features I saw best were the brown rump, the contrast between the brown breast and flanks and gray belly, the thin white wing bars, and the darker color of wings and tail. The fact that the bird was singing loudly and continuously indicates that it was a male. The lack of breast streaking, dark color, and failure to see an eye stripe also argue against the bird being a female. The rich brown coloration only fits Black-headed Grosbeak. No features that fit Rose-breasted Grosbeak, such as red on the breast or underwings, white flanks or rump, or light-colored bill, were seen. Failure to see a demarcated black head and white in the wing and tail in flight is disturbing, but the side to back lighting and brief duration of each look at the bird (when I concentrated on looking at the features cited above) may account for this. The wing bars were not as wide as usually depicked [sic] for males. Perhaps the bird was in first nuptial plumage. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:20:00/08:30:00.
