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.

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.

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.

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