Sharing the beauty of Northern Michigan.
Welcome!
I love "Up North" and have appointed myself the unofficial travel ambassador for Northern Michigan. There are so many great things to do - visit the State Parks, ski, snowmobile, view elk, see the moose of Isle Royale, hike, kayak, visit a winery, bird watch and so much more. Please join me in my travels.

Shelley, You have outdone yourself this time. So very sweet - thank you.
How in the world do you capture your birds so clearly. Oh I know, you have a real camera!!
She is so cute even with out color.

I love this quote...and still she shows her beauty on the outside too.
Suz
that so nice,
What a nice closeup you got of her!
Hey! Wait a minute! That's my female Grosbeak! How did she get there so fast?
Beautiful shot. Doesn't it just irk you though that the male got all of the pretty colors :-)
Shelley, I think the grosback is friendly, we have a few come to our feed in the window daily. They even perch on the roof above while I fill the feeder. lol, it is cute. I also enjoyed your quote...very true.

They look like the sweetest birds, don't they? I love their little sincere faces.
That is a wonderful shot of her, thanks so much for sharing it!
She is gorgeous, Shelley. Great picture. Looks like she is trying to talk to you!!!!
Have a great and wonderful evening.
Hugs,
Betsy
so pretty!

Beautiful shot - and I agree 100 per cent with the quote too.
Certainly not as flashy as the males, but you have perfectly captured how wonderful they are in their own right. Gorgeous!
Great shot and I love the quote.
Beautiful. She has a lovely expression. We have rose-breasted grosbeaks at our feeders right now and I just love them.
What a beautiful bird, and beautiful shot Shelley! I think our grosbeaks are done "passing through" - haven't seen any for a few weeks.
That is a super capture. I assume you were using the new Sigma as that is really up close and personal!
I really like the owl photo too. The facial expression is awesome.
