Doesn't he look so handsome sitting there?
In an instant, he scratches and takes on the appearance of an entirely different bird!
I have no idea what this goofy little guy is thinking. He certainly can't eat from the thistle feeder. Perhaps he's simply taking a break.I have a feeling the Grosbeak Guys will be moving on very shortly. It has been a pleasure having their company for a while.
He certainly is handsome!!
ReplyDeleteHandsome indeed! That scratching picture does make him look totally different...wow!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a joy to watch them visit you....tku for sharing.......
ReplyDeleteHis little body has so many different colors, some linear, some chunky that he looks like an unfinished painting! Love that last shot of him! We don't get to see many of these birds so I have enjoyed seeing your up-close pictures of them! thanks
ReplyDeleteHe certainly looks like he's in a transitional phase! I won't see one of these in my yard until next May:(
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series of photos!
ReplyDeleteI think you have my grosbeak! Great photo - I'm already missing them here in Mich!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I think the Male Grosbeak is the most colorful bird that visited my feeders. I was most excited to see him, too! I'm glad they hung around for a while. Keep watching...
ReplyDeleteThat must be their fall plumage, they look so much different when they come through here (Texas) in the spring. The colors become much more defined and solid looking. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous birds - and the background colors are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHe is a gorgeous 'hunk' as we used to say.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn: What neat shots of the colorful bird.
