Shot these today from my window "blind" during spells between the rain when the birds came in to the feeders. The male yellow finches are almost as bad as the hummingbirds at chasing off other males. The Grosbeaks are incredibly skittish and I had to shoot this shot through the closed window and standing back in the room. Comments appreciated.

Wow - through the window, another pair of cracking shots.

What lens are you using for these?, 400/5.6?.

Love the detail on the birds but someone has got to teach the Grosbeak how to eat. He has, what would you call it, a gross beak!!! :lol: Hey, maybe that's where the name came from!

Yes-the 400 5.6/ The grosbeak is through glass as they fly if I try to open the window or they see me at all.
