VALENBIRD

Wonderful pic Thorny!

That's GREAT!

What a unique rose-breasted grosbeak!
Lucky you!

I found the pic on Google Image Search and Photoshopped it into a heart. (I cheated)

How cute is that!!!!!!

(I knew you played with it Thorny!)

Just wanted to recognize the bird, for those who might not know...

I think the Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks are one of the prettiest songbirds in America. They only migrate Through Tennessee so are here for two weeks in Spring and two weeks in Fall. I NEVER get any in my yard but some state and city parks near me get hundreds so I go there to see them. They have a distinctive, "Pink!" call that sounds like tapping a wine glass with a ten-penny nail.

Cool pic, Bird Man!

Thorny - I had the honor of seeing one once in my front yard and once in my back on the deck, but each time only for a few fleeting moments. They surely are pretty!!!

They are stunning. I've seen flocks of eight to ten at a time swarming the feeders at some of our state parks here in Tennessee.

Awwww very pretty! Life just wouldn't be the same on here without your photoshopped pictures!

Actually I did very little photoshopping on the pictures. That is the exact color red of the breast and the patch of red on the chest is very close to a heart shape. I just modified it slightly to make a perfect heart shape.

Here is the original photo I modified.

ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK

Wow that is pretty close to the first one you posted.

I did only minimal photoshopping to get the desired results.
