A recent visitor to my bird feeder

My husband took this picture of a rose-breasted grosbeak who came here to munch on some seed. He stayed on the feeder for a good 5 minutes.

I don't have a feeder, but ospreys have a nest adjacent to my house, so I do catch them occasionally eating a fish!

Never saw him before we starting putting it in the feeders, and I've had feeders out for at least 5 years.

With the background blurred, it appears you got in pretty close with a short lens.

Thanx for posting.

I love the birds and since moving my feeder is father back on this property. But we love feeding them. We have had mostly cardinals this year.

I love grosbeaks, and yeah, they do like those sunflower seeds.
