Rose-breasted Grosbeaks - Male & Female

[busbyea]

I was finally lucky enough to see both the male & female grosbeak. Took quite some time before the male (Appears to be a young one) would allow his photo to be snapped.

Nice set Ted and the male looks like a first year...so born last summer I believe. By next summer he should lose the spots and be a little rosier. The female looks great too and nice to see them in evergreens. Its about time you start using that 100-400;)
