Female Grosbeak is the newest guest at the feeder

While waiting for the Quail or the pair of Cardinals to drop by the feeder when I have the camera ready and its not cloudy,snowing or to dark I got a first time ever apperance of a female Pine grosbeak. [image][/image] [image][/image] [image][/image]

Nice captures, jmalm. I especially like the composition on No. 2. Good work. Pine grosbeak, by the way.

Steve thanks for the correction. When I looked it up this morning I had told the wife that it was a Pine Grosbeck and she said no way till I proved it. So I got out the bird book and proved her wrong. I think that I am going to have to blame the Labatts.

Yeah, a really clever fellow can find a way to blame EVERYTHING on Canada. What else are neighboring countries for?
