I am an avid bird watcher! And right now the migratory birds are moving thru our area ...and I happened to look out my kitchen window and this fellow was in my feeder!!! He never quit eating as I took several pix...heres the best one I wanted to share!!

This is a rosebreasted grossbeak. I have several other cool new birds I wanna photo to add to my picture collection...but they will NOT cooperate with me !!

...as soon as they see me in the window, they are gone!
So am gonna set up a blind ......so I can hopefully get some more pictures before they leave out and head west!!! Will share more if I can get them!!

That is awesome! Such a gorgeous bird and one I've never seen at our feeder.

I have seen my first Indigo Bunting this year though. Also, I saw a couple of blue finches for the first time ever! We usually get gold finches every year and have a four foot long finch feeder that gets covered. But this year we were visited by two blue finches! I had to rub my eyes because I though they might be bluebirds but nope, they were finches!
