There are 4 male Rose breasted Grosbeaks in my backyard spending a lot of time at the feeders. Cost to them: me & my camera! CC's always welcome! Thanks for looking. Shot with a 200L & Rebel XTi 1/1000 f5 at 200mm.

Its a nice image, I like the use of the branch as the perch....head seems a tad soft but still a fine image.

Thankyou Mark, I've been practicing 'manual' focus so I guess I need to 'sharpen' my eyes.

Thankyou Mitch! It's the first shot I thought worthy of this forum. Still trying for the 'red' on the hummingbird. Appreciate the comments!

Late afternoon or early morning sun will bring out the flash of red more often I think. You have to be fast, and lucky. :)
