Parrots of the North Woods

Well, not exactly... but when the Pine Grosbeaks return to the north woods ridges, I always think of them affectionately as my "Parrots of the North Woods."

The soft pinkish reds of the males and tangerine stained grays of the females, brighten up the stark landscape of the arrowhead.

those are beautiful birds, great shots of them

Wonderful photos Dave.
They make me want to take a trip up there!
(in the summer!)

Thank you Jeremy... if you want to photograph these birds I am afraid you will have to "run the gauntlet" and get up here in the winter....

All pretty, but I think I like number 5 with the snow the best. Thats cause we don't have any snow here I guess

Very nice, Dave; I have had the pines and the evenings a couple of times so far, but only for a few minutes at a time.

Dave, #5 is fabulous! Great captures all.

Wonderful capture of some lovely very colourful birds, nicely done.

I checked these on my calibrated screen and they do not look to contrasted but it does look like maybe you could benefit from some Micro Focus Adjust. Or they are very heavy crops since they look a tad soft.

Fantastic Shots! Number 8 is beautiful!

Great job with these Dave. I like the one perched on the dead sunflower best. Are they partial to the seeds?
