I only saw this guy long enough for three pictures and heres a little info on him. :)


One of the larger members of its family, the Pine Grosbeak is a bird of the Boreas forests, found across northern Eurasia and North America, and south into the mountains of western Canada and the United States. A large, unwary finch, it makes periodic winter irruptions into southern Canada and northern United States. It is the largest and rarest of the "winter finches."

WOW! Beautiful colors. I've never seen one.......until now!!
Thanks for sharing:thumbsup:

A first for me, too. Nice shots.

Very nice! I have yet to see one of these birds.

Gorgeous images, I love the colours. What lens did you use.

Cassie.

I had one of those sitting in my backyard today. Now if only I could figure out how to read the RAW files off my camera now. lol

Nice shots Glenn... way better than mine even though I can't see them yet lol. They look kind of like House finches at first until you see the size difference.

NICE! What an attractive bird. Add another species to my must-see-someday-in-person list.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice :) I love the last one!
