The Pine Grosbeaks I saw at the university centre were hanging out in crabapple trees in the middle of a parking lot. I recall a Northern Hawk Owl that hung out at a highway cloverleaf interchange for a while. You have to wonder what makes them choose these particular spots. It’s funny where the birds show up.
