Evening Grosbeak Near Palo Alto
Evening Grosbeak Near Palo Alto. Notes in the January CONDOR indicate a general invasion of the coast valleys by flocks of grosbeaks (Coccothraustes v. montanus.) As none are recorded from the San Francisco peninsula, I will note two males and four females, taken by Mr. T. J. Hoover on November 25, now in my collection. These specimens were secured from a flock on the lower San Francisquito Creek where they were feeding in the willows. Mr. Hoover states that since the above date he has seen several flocks in the vicinity of Palo Alto.
