So without further ado, Birdfreak hosts this
My bird this week is the Black-headed Grosbeak that showed up in our backyard.
The one above I believe was an adult.The one below was one of the young'uns.
I'm not sure if this was the same juvie as above or it was different. They were flitting around a lot.
The chicks were very cute :)

Red, good for you to do this. I've thought about it, but I haven't had any good bird pix in a while.
Great shots! Thanks so much for joining our meme!!
Black-headed Grosbeak would be a lifer for some of the Birdfreak Team, a gorgeous bird for sure!
Good birding to you and hope to hear from you every week!
Mom, I'm pretty sure you don't have to use a recent one... or even a beautiful one :) Surely you got something at Palo Alto Baylands.
Thanks Birdfreak! I hope I will do it every week. It's a lifer for me since I hadn't even heard of it before it showed up.
What a neat idea! That Black-headed Grosbeak would be a lifer for me...
Lovely photos. I especially loved the juvenile!
Birds-a-week!
What camera are you using? You may have told us before, but I missed it.
Thanks Lynne! I thought it was a great idea too :) THanks again Birdfreak!
Welcome Vickie! And thank you :)
LuLu, I'm using a Canon EOS 40D and I'm pretty certain for those birds I was using my Canon 100-400mm IS 4.5-5.6 lens. Most likely at the 400mm level.
hmmm... this may be the only post I mentioned my camera! Silly me 8D
