Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Excellent captures. I am partial to #3 - like it a lot. The others are good as well but just like #3 a little better.

Great color and clarity.

Nice work of these Wayne;

Thanx alot to everyone who took time to comment on this thread , I appreciate your very kind words

Tricky birds to expose right, eh ?
The second one is my favourite.

As you of course know allready Peter a white and black bird can be quite tricky , I think I got lucky with these guys

Those are magnificent, especially #2!

Which lens? Sorry Infidel , they were taken with the 200 F2.8L

From now on, it should be a requirement that people post what lens they used for every picture...

Nice shots Wayne. They are pretty laid back birds.

Al ,,, Ive noticed that both the Evening and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are really quite approachable , I wonder if the same holds true for the Blue or Black-headed
