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.
Stunning blue colouring on that bird Jann, lovely.
ReplyDeleteA lovely bird that I've never seen before, Jann or even knew of. We have the Rose-breasted Grosbeak though. Glad you retro-ed!
ReplyDeleteI've never ever ever seen a BLUE grosbeak! Didn't even know there is such a bird.
ReplyDeleteBlue grosbeak is the chosen mascot/emblem of the South Dakota Ornithologists' Union, I've never seen one in the Hills, blurry is good.
ReplyDeleteHi Jann.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great looking bird. Any chance of send us some over here to brighten up our winter?
Blurred or not it's a gorgeous bird Jann and I certainly hope you get to see another.
