Rose in the Leaves

I spotted this Rose‑breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) hanging out in the trees near my backyard. The image is pretty, but I’m not completely satisfied with it. The sky was overcast this morning, and this bird had no interest in leaving the shadows of the foliage. I kept hoping he’d make the leap to the bird feeders — they’re closer and out in the open — but even with other birds coming and going, he couldn’t quite work up the courage with me and Charlie sitting out in the yard.

If you’re captivated by rose-breasted grosbeaks and other members of the Cardinalidae family—better known as the cardinal family—step into my photo gallery for a visual feast. Come take a look:

Gynandromorph rose-breasted grosbeak fursuit head I made. It was built off of my 3D printed grosbeak headbase, painted and then furred with faux fur.

Rose-breasted Grosbeak at Mount Rose Preserve
Lively morning at the bird bistro and portrait studio. So kinetic that it was hard to get good photos. With multiple blue jays and chipmunks on the scene there is always a Keystone Kops quality to the proceedings. #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography #SunflowerSeeds #Peanuts #Squirrel #Chipmunk #Cardinal #RoseBreastedGrosbeak #AmericanGoldfinch
