Welcome Back

All Spring I have been so disappointed because I have not seen some of the migrating birds that I saw in recent years. 
Sunday afternoon I just happened to look out,
and there was a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
She seemed to be enjoying the food
and not disturbed by the other birds flying in and out.      
She even sat still long enough for me to get my camera.







"I am sort of pretty, don't you think?




Monday morning I happened to see
something red and black and white
flying through some branches.
On closer look, it was a male.
However, he did not stick around to eat.
Maybe he will be back....I hope!

Yes Janice... She is gorgeous! Glad you got to see the male too... Hope they both come back to your feeders.

You take the best pictures, Janice... Very professional.
Hugs,
Betsy

I too love RB Grossbeaks. When the male comes flashing in I know the females are not far behind. They are both beautiful in their own way. You got some really nice shots of the female. She has a lovely shade of yellow on the chest if you get the light just right and also under her wings. I always try to get it but somehow miss it.
