Blurry in Blue


I'm still retro-ing here..will be for a couple weeks anyway...well, I do want to get out and see what I can find/snap with the pocket digital. Anywho, this is the one and only blurry photo I took last year of a blue grosbeak. Will I see another one, or two...this year? I'm so anxious for the birds to return! This photo was taken when I was still very much learning the basics of my SLR camera. But in all fairness, it was also taken when I came to a screeching halt in the middle of the road to E Custer Park and shot in a quick moment through the opposite passenger window before it promptly flew off.

  2. A lovely bird that I've never seen before, Jann or even knew of. We have the Rose-breasted Grosbeak though. Glad you retro-ed!

  4. Blue grosbeak is the chosen mascot/emblem of the South Dakota Ornithologists' Union, I've never seen one in the Hills, blurry is good.
