Photo taken at Laguna Seca Ranch in South Texas this week.

Nikon D810, 300mm lens, 1.4 TC, 1/1000 sec at f/8.0, ISO 640.

Getting a Blue Grosbeak on a perch where you can see him is not always an easy task.  I was glad that this one cooperated.

Really nice image Gene. I like the composition and especially the bird. I found only one of these while in Florida this past winter and it was not in breeding plumage. Lucky you to have found this one and end up with a great image. Call me jealous!

Great image, Gene. Simple but perfect in every respect.
