Love the perch and the framing. Another beauty.

The Y framing of the perch makes this even better than it would have been. Happy New, Murph :) and thanks for sharing with us!

Spring Migration? We haven't had winter yet here in PA, we currently have high winds and snow squalls.

Great shot Alan. Superb perch as usual.

The picture has very nice colours. The bird is nicely sharp. Have you reworked it?

Hi Titus, I'm not sure what you mean? The colors are real and untouched. The standard sharpening for web-presented JPEG's was applied.

Thanks for your comments.

Great looking species Alan. The light is sweet and love the nice BG, the eye contact and the great perch. I am tempted to clone out the green leaf overlaping with the flank of the grosbeak. Happy new year :-)
