Love his inquisitive look and posture, and that deep blue and big bill in the sunshine. Wonderful photo, HJ. Reply ↓
I wish I could get great photos like you do. This year for the first time I have young blue grosbeaks. This photo is super. Hugs Reply ↓
Thank you very much, Mags. I suggest you find on YouTube how to use the camera that you own in order to improve your photos. That’s a start. 🙂 Reply ↓

This one is a juvenile, when he gets to be adult it will be very handsome. Thanks, Clare. 🙂
