That's so pretty. I saw a photo earlier of a bird that is colored like a peppermint candy stick. I can't find it now, but I wish I could, because it was really pretty and I wanted to know what kind of bird it was and more in general.

We've only lived at our new rural house for a year, but we've seen such a huge variety of birds this year. Great pic BTW!

Not as good as your awesome shot, but this guy showed up for the first time this year and tried to eat from the hummingbird feeder

Absolutely precious and beautiful contrast with the feeder.

I saw one at my house a week ago or so near my window feeder. It was a super chill bird.

They are a beautiful grosbeak.

"You should have seen the other guy..."

What weird coincidence, it was the first time for me seeing a female Rose Breasted Grosbeak today
