May 7, 2005: Rose Breasted Grosbeak

Windsor, ON, Canada

I have been trying to get a good photo of this elusive bird since last summer.
They are finally migrating back through our area.
What a perfect chance!
Going to keep trying for a better one without the branch cutting him in half.

Great shot of the bird! The fractional flower is a bit distracting -- I would include more of it or crop it out entirely.
