Nice shots of a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak in alternate (breeding) plumage.

I've only seen one of these in my backyard and that was several years ago. Neat find.

Wow! They do not even range here so he must be on his way up north.

I saw one in my yard this morning in Hitchcock. They were here last year in my yard about this time. Gorgeous bird!
