I've never seen a blue grosbeak before Richard. These are very nice and sharp. Love the detail.

What do you use to get so close. When ever I get this close with my 170-500 at 500mm I cant focus enough to get these...

Thanks to all of you for your comments.
Superdiver- try using extension rings to shorten your minimum focusing distance. --Rick
