Rose-breasted Grosbeak - Cardinal à poitrine rose

An image from last spring in Prince Edward County - I have one week or work travel before I get a chance to head back there for a few days to check in on the migration.

 

Last year my visit coincided with a major push of Grosbeaks and Orioles, and they were everywhere along the shore, in flocks. I had not witnessed a landing by so many of a single species before, let alone a species that one is lucky to find, let alone photograph, in Ottawa.

 

My preference is always to find birds in habitat and to situate them as such in images, but every once in a while opportunities arise for a completely clean image.
