Rose Breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus)

1/125, f6.3, EC -2\3, iso 400, focal length 400mm. Flash exposure compensation -1. Taken in my backyard in the afternoon on an overcast day. I have perches placed in different locations around the feeders. This migrating male and two others and two females showed up this past spring. It was quite the treat as these were first time visitors. The males and two females stayed three days. One female stayed for a week.

Super shot! Vibrant colour and nice clean light.
I've started trying to get shots with branches I've set up around our feeders, too.
