Evening Grosbeak Male


Showed up near my feeders, grabbed the camera, opened the window, took a few shots, and it was gone. The female was there at the same time. Haven’t seen them since.

Beautiful photo David. Great detail and the colors of the bird and background work so well together. Truly wonderful capture.

Hi David, wow you got close! Terrific detail, colors, background. Love the eye. No nits from me.

Fantastic portrait of this bird, David. Great background and light to showcase him.

A very nice portrait, David. Superb detail as always. That background really works with the grosbeak’s beak color. I do think a bit more room on the right would make this even better.
