He's a gorgeous young bird and does he ever stand out well here among the foliage. Very nice composition and detail too, Yves. This is another species who numbers have gone down over the years.

Thanks you so much heather. Its bad they are disapearing, because their striking colours really stands out in the bushes.

I do believe it is an immature male Yves. Very nice capture with the little guy checking out the world around him. The surrounding shrubs are a nice contrast.

Thank you very much for commenting Debra.

Another nice one, Yves. It seems like the bird is either molting, or it is not a fully adult bird.

Agree with you Jane. The shot was taken July 01. I'd say it's a not fully grown bird.

Description
This grosbeak took a moment in the sun to show me its best profile. Special notice to the various colours in the surrounding foliage that well accompany the bird.
