My entry for Bird Photography Weekly To see more wonderful birds click on my link and thanks to Birdfreak for hosting .
These shots are from my archives and my last visit to Bombay Hook NWR. They are beautiful birds and I love the color. The male is a pretty blue with chestnut wingbars. They like to hang out in brushy fields or on the edge of wooded areas. They eat insects and seeds.

Hi, Eileen;
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous blue bird! I don't know a whole lot about birds but I would be ever so grateful to see a few pretty ones in my garden. (I live in hawk/eagle country - they're too fierce to inspire photographs.)
aha! so that's what's it is called. thanks for sharing.

That's a beautiful bird and I really like the way you have photographed it in among the grass.
ReplyDeleteWe love blue grosbeaks. Normally we see them only during migration, when indigo buntings are also around. Nice to see so much blue in our yard twice a year. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird. His coloring so dark and rich. He's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing him
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the Blue Grosbeak Eileen! We heard them in a field adjacent to blackberry thickets last year and caught a fleeting glimpse. Nice to get looks like these!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!! Great shot!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Eileen, for posting these! Blue Grosbeaks are one of my favorite birds in the U.S. I kinda miss them. :)
ReplyDeleteWow ... what a gorgeous bird! Great images!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous! Interesting to read and much to learn about your blessed country. I am blown away!
ReplyDeleteI just love coming by to visit with you! You always have such beautiful photos and mosaics! :)
ReplyDeleteHe is WONDERFUL! I had one stop by my feeder during the migration. They are such pretty birds. How lucky of you to catch him. :D
ReplyDeleteLove these birds also. I actually saw my first one of these here in AZ!
ReplyDeleteanother new bird for me! beautiful blue!
ReplyDeleteDo you know the name of the wild flower in your header? I was just in the allegany state park here in NY and clicked on a gorgeous pink one (now my header) but I was having trouble identifying the name.
Thanks!
Valerie
that blue is one of my favourite colors. Great on a bird.
