Went out looking for the Blue Grosbeak and apparently this Harris's Sparrow, didn't realize that they were in different places and hence saw neither. Congrats on the life bird, I'd liked to have seen this adult, I've only seen an SY bird before.

The person who describes a species gets to name it, they are often named either after the person finding it, or in honor of somebody. In other cases it is after the loaction they are found. In this case it is named after an amateur ornothologist (Edward Harris).
