Yet ANOTHER Avian Arrival

Blue grosbeak. We had one of these around (briefly) last year as well. It's nice living in the middle of the Mississippi Flyway!

Lana Gramlich said...: Cloudia; Aw, shucks...You're too kind!

Rob; We typically only get one here for a little while. Still...better than nothing!

Dr. Jay; I agree!

Travis; Aren't they PURDY?

bernie; Thank you kindly! You definitely blow me out of the water where photography's concerned, though!

Donnetta; Thanks! At first I thought it was an indigo bunting, but it was too long for that. I was delighted to see that I was wrong.

Drowsey; 3rd one down? Thanks, regardless!; April 26, 2009 10:46 PM

Beautiful blue bird.; April 28, 2009 8:44 PM
Lana Gramlich said...: Larry; They're here even more rarely than the rose-breasted, so I was glad to get some good shots!

Tabib; Thank you!; April 29, 2009 12:27 AM
