Got back to taking a few pictures at my feeder last week. I saw an immature rose-breasted grosbeak, which, according to the Merlin App, are not too common for New Hampshire. Which, I've probably only seen them at my feeder 4-5 times, so that sounds about right.

I really like what you did with these two. The lighting is soft. No harsh shadows. The cardinal is perfectly posed, I like the vignette. I like it makes very good eye contact and the leading lines are nice.

Also the grossbeak very well done, I like the eye contact and the pose a lot. The lighting again is very soft and nice. I like the colors on both, definitely a fan of vibrant colors in general.

Both have focus and center your attention to the bird very well. Me likey.

Cool sighting and wonderful details in these shots!! Due to good weather and plenty of natural forage my feeders aren't very active right now but recently I did see a female rose breasted GB .... headed south no doubt

Thanks... Other than the Grosbeak, just the usual suspects here. Still fun. I am working on a new perch, so hopefully will have that going soon.

Did a quick trip down to Florida. Had a great time with Busted Knuckles. Two Osprey images taken at the Sebastian Inlet.

Looks like fun! The third image is a stunner.

2 years ago we had a Snowy that hung around here for a couple of months ..... very rare in Ky.

It stayed in small area about 2 miles from my house and it drew a lot of attention. Birders from several states found out about it.

I was able to get some nice pictures of it perched on a fence post but most of the time I checked it was far from the road.

Thanks Joel.

That is what is nice about the two state parks I have been seeing them. The owls are mostly in the dunes leading to the beach. Given that there are various paths to the beach about every 50 to 100 yds, it makes it fairly easy to get a shot. That is until they decide to head out to the flats where there are not trails. I have plenty of images of little white dots in the distance. But 2 of 3 trips this year I was lucky to find them in the dunes or long the breakwater.
