Red's new friend by cjwhite

Red's new friend

Red and I have a new friend. He's a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak. I have never seen one, so I was very excited! I read about him in one of my books. From what I read, he's stopping by for a little food on his migration route. There was a female with him, but I didn't realize it until I saw the pic of a female. She was brown and white streaked. I got a pic of her, but it was a little blurry.

Thank you so much for your comments and faves on yesterday's kitty pic! I had a long weekend at work and it made me feel much better! :0)
Lovely capture. I had a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak in my yard one day last week. I snapped several shots of him. I had never seen one either! I am glad you were able to get this pretty shot of yours.

Gorgeous colours and a lovely shot. It's a great moment to realise that you are seeing a new bird, and even better to get a photo of it.

Well hopefully they remain friends

This is a super shot - I would love to see one of those. What great timing to get the two of them together. There is an awful lot to be said for being in the right place at the right time! And you always know how to take advantage of those times! Wonderful as always.

I've never seen a grosbeak before, but we do have some pretty cardinals here.

Aren't you lucky to catch the grosbeak. They are lovely. I saw a towhee yesterday but it was too quick, or maybe I was too slow. LOL
