There was a sighting in Vancouver recently, but these birds don't typically get up quite this far north. Still, the climate is changing - anything could happen. Certainly lots of grosbeaks on Gabriola right now.

I told my mum in Victoria, and she visited your blog, and told me about your post on these Grosbeaks, suggesting that might have been what we saw. I'm new to birding so don't know much, and I didn't get a good look at the bird, so I don't know. Anyway, there you go. Could have been the Grosbeak. Do you see Orioles here often?Justine Pnoreply@blogger.com
