Can someone tell what type of bird this. He was busy as a bee at Ding Darling National Refuse Center in SW FL. Not a very good image. He would not stay still even for the 1/250 shutter speed.

Hi Bev and welcome to Bird Forum on behalf of all the Moderators and Admin. Staff.
I can't help you with your i.d. question as the link doesn't appear to be working.

Hi Bev,

And welcome to Bird Forum. I think this might be a Blue Grosbeak (probably an immature or female).

Can you save it and post it on here Andrew? - I just don't seem to be able to open it from the link.

Hopefully this is it. I think it's a bmp file so is quite big.

It's a really nice picture by the way Bev.

Andy and Fifebirder, thanks. I could not figure out how else to present it on this forum. You fellows are really really efficient. Again thanks.

With the help from this board, I looked up Blue Grosbeak in Stokes Field Guide of Birds and it sure looks like that's what it is. I was hoping for some rare bird find but maybe on my next trip out.

I always think that if it's a species or a plumage you haven't seen before it's as just good as a rare bird. You could always send it over here. I'll tick it any day.
