Formal Dress!
Funny thing. This morning, I made a comment about seeing a female Rose-Breasted Grosbeak at the feeder, but no males thus far.
This afternoon, I heard the beautiful whistle that is only this grosbeak's. I looked around in the trees and couldn't see the bird anywhere. Then, suddenly, the male flew over to a tree across from the feeder and landed on a dead branch.
The little fellow whistled for just a bit, but when he saw me, it was obvious he was a bit concerned about my intentions. He sat long enough for me to fire off several shots and I was a pretty happy camper. Would be better with a longer lens or less shy birds!
I love these birds, especially the males. They always appear at the feeder dressed in their formal attire!
