It was a morning that had this lady singing the blues!
It was my first time capturing a Blue Grosbeak...I was so excited!!!
Just too bad it was a little out of reach for my zoom lens.
This was in the same place I go to photograph my Bluebirds nesting in a dead tree.
Needless to say when I saw the Grosbeaks...I temporarily forgot the Bluebirds. haha
Not for long though...especially when I saw the male fly in to join the female.
Please forgive my BIF's...I'm not that good at them and my camera and lens are too heavy for this old girl.
Yes...and I'm too stubborn to use a tripod. haha
It's certainly rare for me to catch them together...so this really had me singing the blues!!!
Guess mother was doing a little nest keeping below.
The only thing that would have made this morning bluesier...would've been a Blue Bunting!!!

Wow! I've only seen a blue grosbeak twice in my life! How exciting!! I love all of your pictures.
Wow! Send that Blue Grosbeak my way when you're done with it!
Good for you ! I still need to add that handsome fella to my life list :-)
BLUE GROSBEAK!!!! You lucky dog!! I want to see one, but through your lens will have to do for now. I can't wait until those baby bluebirds emerge from the log. That will be cool. Great post Jan!
You did what?!!! lol
The grosbeaks are very exciting! We don't ofetn see them. And the bluebirds are ALWAYS a thrill. Thanks. Very, very cool.
A blue grosbeak, INCREDIBLE!!!
WOW, that had to be sooo exciting!
Lucky you, Jan! And your Bluebirds are so neat to see them nesting in 'natural' surroundings.
Great captures!
I remember my first Blue Grosser - what a heart-stopping moment. Lovely shots JJ!
Thanks everyone for the kind words!
