About a week ago I had my 2nd 1-day-only sighting of a blue grosbeak. I'm not sure if this is the female or a juvenile. Seeing this bird again was a thrill....such beautiful birds!

Essentially what photography is is life lit up.

Nice find and captures Janet!
They are indeed very pretty birds - both male and female. I think it will take a real expert to determine if this one is female or juvenile. Sorry, I'm not that expert :)
