My favourite juvenile Red-breasted Grosbeak to date.

Harv

I caught this one today and really like it a lot. I'm not sure you will, but it's my favourite shot of a juvie taken to date.



Thanks for looking.

Very handsome. The perch is very good. The detail and color are very good.

It seems that a lot of people prefer the brighter images. Given a choice, I would have mine much like this one. I like it very much, Harv.

Thanks a lot, Ric. I've started shooting a lot more song birds with darker backgrounds and prefer it myself.

Great capture, Harv! Nice to get them out in the open like that!

If I squint and shake my head from side to side....really fast...it kind of looks like an osprey. Nice capture buddy. You must have good eyes to see those little itty bitty sissy birds. Maybe I'll paint up some ospreys to look like song birds.

Thanks, Glenn. Having feeders out with perches nearby sure helps a lot.

Mike, if you squint and shake your head from side to side, you might fall into that canal behind your house.

Besides, the only thing that looks like an osprey is...... well, an osprey.

Thanks for stopping in, buddy.
