Pine Grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator)

I spent the past weekend up in Maine, for my first session of the year with the cameras, including a visit to a friend's feeders. He has had up to 20 Pine and many more Evening Grosbeaks...but it was quiet when I was there. However, the Pine Grosbeaks did briefly visit but mainly fed on the ground (which was 2-3 feet of snow). I managed a couple of images in very low light.

Such a contrast in colours. You have handled the exposure so very well but I do wish everyone would stop keeping the snow to themselves and send us some! Great shot Mark ;)

Same for me; I would like to get an image of this bird, as well. They are seldom posted. Goodi image. Great bird. :t: :t: :t:

Considering your conditions this turned out great. The eye is in very sharp focus which makes this picture better yet. I don't know if these bird range to Southwestern Ontario but I,m off to look. Thanks for the shot.
