Rose Breasted Grosbeak

By glazzaro  
Afternoon

Here is a shot I took some months ago, a bird that is seldom seen in my area. I was quite excited to get the shot even though it was the height of the day and was extremely hard to get the exposure. Overall I was pleased with the shot I am sure that chances of me seeing another in my area will be extremely rare! Catch you later, good luck shooting!
