Rose Breasted Grosbeak

So exciting..... this is the first time seeing this bird in our yard! I have the orange slice out to attract the orioles but no luck yet!

Happy Friday!

Nice capture

Thats a great idea - an orange or a mandarin! Well done for the identification!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Aren't they striking? We had a female visit our feeder last week but I never saw the male. Good shot!

Great capture and good idea. I haven’t tried fruit for the birds-may have to put come out and see if it works.

Hey, maybe this is a Grosbeak that was at my house last week. They're gone now, so maybe they've made it all the way to yours now. Interestingly, my pic for today is of an Oriole with an orange...maybe she'll be to your place in the next couple of days. :)

@lyndemc Aww that is too funny!
This Rose breasted grosbeak has been here all day enjoying the birdseed!
They just pop in the garden with their white and red chest! 🤞 Fingers crossed that the Baltimore orioles will stop by soon! :)

He's giving you the eye

[Jane Pittenger]

What a gorgeous bird

[Milanie]

One of my favorites! Great dof

Nice capture. Saw oriole, hummingbird and grosbeak on schedule but now with the roof work on our house I may not see them again! :(

[Babs]

What a lovely bird, he has a feast here.

[Diana]

Lovely shot of this beautiful bird.

[Margaret Brown]

Very colourful capture!

[Anne Pancella]

Keep the food out. This cold (freezing) and rainy spring has been brutal for the birds (few insects) and more are coming to feeders than usual because of it.

[Dustyloup]

That orange mark on his chest is really cool

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot

[Denise (lyndemc)]

@radiogirl I'll be looking for an Oriole in your line-up here before too long!

[bruni]

A few years ago we had an oriole in our tree. only once. so maybe if I put some cut up orange out, I might be lucky again. love that you caught a grosbeak. they're pretty birds.
