Boy did I get a bonus today !!

For just a few years now I've been trying to get decent pictures of birds in my little peach tree. This particular species I've only seen a couple of times and never long enough to even get so much as a fleeting shot. Well, today this guy must have felt very generous. He not only landed in my little tree but flew to my tray feeder on the deck railing and then posed for several minutes. I only wish the branch was live and had some color but I was thrilled just to get these. I called it a day.

My rose-breasted grosbeak.





Thanks for lookin'

You made the most of your opportunity to be sure. Spot on perfect photos. Nice job and congrats. If you have a way to do it in future, a better BG would really put these over the top

Thank you all very much. Appreciate the comments.

Dan, I agree about the BG and will try to remedy future shots.

Thank you Ben and Harry. Lucky shots to be sure but I'll take 'em.

Jack'll do

Very nice captures of a beautiful subject. I've had a few at my feeders in the last several years but none so far this year.

Thank you Jack. They must have been just moving through because I've not see hide nor hair since. I still feel lucky though.
