Blue Grosbeak, female

Pajaro River at Hwy 101

This bird was engaged in courting behavior with a singing male, and its worn tail feathers are inconsistent with its being a juvenile, so it is probably the adult female of the pair, despite the fact that photos don't show any of the blue feathers usually found on adult female Blue Grosbeaks.
