The Grosbeaks Are Still Here

Just another pic to mark the fact that the Evening Grosbeaks are still here. It seems it's a bit of an oddity, at least for this year for some reason. The numbers are dwindling ... just a half dozen or so at a time.

Many thanks for dropping by.

Ive noticed you've nearly completed - clap :) lovely nature shot too.

[Anne ❀]

@maryp thanks mary! yes, the time has gone by so quickly, I can't believe it!

[Laurie Higgins]

Anne, I love your bird shots so much and have tried so hard to capture songbirds (and even squirrels) this winter, with very mixed results that I rarely post. You have a gift for these shots and I know this from all my failed attempts.

[Junan Heath]

Fantastic shot! I love Evening Grosbeaks! :)

[Anne ❀]

@lauriehiggins you're very kind laurie! this is one of those pics i want for the subject material, not the focus or comp ... lol. it was a busy day with lots of people and dogs around to scare them off so i was happy to get this in spite of the shortcomings.

They are a beatiful colour & I like the way all three are looking in different directions :)

[Amanda Thepanda]

they look like finches

[Anne ❀]

@corymbia yes Amanda, they sure do look like finches from a colour point of view. Here's a pic of the female with an American Goldfinch to give you an idea of the difference in size: http://365project.org/sunnygreenwood/365/2012-02-06

A great shot, and I really like those dark squirrels.

Gorgeous capture, Anne. That squirrel doesn't seem to be bothering them.

Nice grab. You will have a great record of what went on on your porch this winter!

Terrific capture of the grosbeaks and squirrel! So wish you would have the large numbers - I miss that we do not get any here anymore!

The gathering of "old friends!" They obviously love their little "restaurant" there, Anne! Beautiful catch.

Coexistence at its finest. They both want the same thing and are willing to share.
