Beautiful pictures Christopher! I have yet to get a good rose-breasted grosbeak photo.

Nice shots! They are such colorful birds. I had one singing from my crab apple tree, did a recording, but as soon as I pointed the camera at it away it flew.

A beautiful bird and nice photos.

Great shots of a very handsome fellow Christopher! I like that fourth photo the best. It looks like he's watching you pretty closely!

What a beauty!

Looks as if it had been shot in the chest. Nice sequence.

Christopher said...

Thanks all. I've seen quite a few Rose-breasted Grosbeaks this season, but I was very lucky that this guy actually stayed relatively low and curious, so I was able to get quite a few shots of him.

What splendid images. I have never seen any Grosbeak of any sort, and this is one that is really a stunner species, very nice series~

Hmm...For some reason none of your photos will load on my new computer. The videos, words, etc. are fine, it's just the photos. I'll try again some other time.
