A New Find

Had to hit the bird identification books - never saw one of these before. He's an immature blue grosbeak - and that early morning light definitely showed him well - now I'm not so sure about that expression he's wearing!

That is quite an unusual find and good for you for identifying him! I love the twisted metal and cobwebs framing the bird.
