Pine Grosbeaks usually inhabit Canada or the far West of the United States. However, this was an “irruption year”, when large numbers of the birds flew south in search of more available food. This bird took no notice of me as I walked up close to her to take pictures. Instead, she focused on an easy meal of crabapples ripe for the taking.
Lovely capture!
Thanks!
Stunning and awesome sighting!! I am jealous, still trying to get my first Grosbeak capture! š
Thanks. That was my very first Pine Grosbeak!
