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.

Such a deep blue. It is gorgeous, my favourite colour.
That is such a pretty blue and it really does have a 'gros' beak :-)
WOW - What a beauty!! Wonderful captures Eileen!!!!
I never saw a blue grosbeak; it is very pretty!
Eileen: That is quite the bird, love to see one.
Gorgeous colour blue, Eileen. We don't get Grosbeaks here in South Africa. So this is a treat for me to see one close-up. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. Jo
What a beautiful blue bird, We have blue birds here but nothing this pretty.
What a lovely bird. I've never seen a Blue Grosbeak before, and you captured him beautifully.
Nice pics! I like the blue/green composition. I have yet to see a Blue Grosbeak.
Gorgeous shots.

Hi, Eileen;
What 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.
a lovely photo of a lovely bird!

That's a beautiful bird and I really like the way you have photographed it in among the grass.
We 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. :)
What a beautiful bird. His coloring so dark and rich. He's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing him
Nice 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!
This is beautiful!! Great shot!

Gorgeous bird!
Thanks, Eileen, for posting these! Blue Grosbeaks are one of my favorite birds in the U.S. I kinda miss them. :)
Wow ... what a gorgeous bird! Great images!
Marvellous! Interesting to read and much to learn about your blessed country. I am blown away!
I just love coming by to visit with you! You always have such beautiful photos and mosaics! :)
He 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
Love these birds also. I actually saw my first one of these here in AZ!
another new bird for me! beautiful blue!
Do 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.
