So true Al, and capturing there true colours with detail is even harder.... Nice job.

Beautifully done, Al. They're here in good numbers too emptying the feeders, but too cold to go out for pictures!

I always know im in for a treat of my optic nerves when viewing your photos, im not disappointed.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment; I appreciate it. In all the years we've lived here, Evening Grosbeaks have made but brief stops, so it is a real treat to have them spend most of the day here.
