I had considered
entitling this
post
"An Immature Male"
but it seemed to have negative
connotations for this
young male Pine Grosbeak
that merely has not yet acquired
an "of age" status
in which he will appear
like the above

thanks to Carol Garvin
for sharing the site
that revealed he is also not an
overdressed female
which is more modestly feathered.
Yes, our days really have been this gray lately.

May the colors that delight you
brighten your weekend.

What a beautiful bird...and is it ok if I admit that I'm jealous of that beautiful snowy background? (though I'm not at all envious of the gray and cold)
I continue to be amazed at God's creation......the colors are amazing....so beautiful next to the snowy background.
Such pretty photos and a joy to see the birds' colors. Wishing you and Callie a delightful weekend.
i don't see gray, i just see beauty!!
nature delights us and we are oh so lucky!!
The immature and the female are equally as pretty as the brighter males.
I LOVE the colors on the first two!
There's such a sweetness about him - the way he cocks his little head. I just marvel at your gift Susan.
i don't understand why his little bird feet don't freeze.
Regardless of the grey, your eyes capture such amazing beauty!
Beautiful captures!
Beautiful bird. Wow, great photos Susan!
It is so very gray here too, Susan. And cold! Your little male is gorgeous and he would brighten any gray day! Loveliness.

Love your sweet photos!! Such sweet birdies. I just got a new baby boy cockatiel and he is the sweetest little bundle of soft downey feathers!
You have some beautiful birds in your gray days
Amazing photos of your world!
What a beautiful bird! A splash of color in the winter is always welcomed!
these birds have brightened my world today, they are so beautiful and I have never seen orange or pink birds, these are my first.
You bring beautiful color to any gray day--or bright one for that matter.
And that Carol Garvin. She's a smart one.
Always fascinated to see photos of birds we don't have! Adds colour to the grey days!
But how amazing that these birds bring splashes of colour to your window.
Wonder and amazement fill each visit to your blog.......Love these!
i love how the Lord created
such colorful joyful beings
to inhabit the gray days
of winter
...it's just like Him to think of that:)
thanks for sharing all of the beauty that you do
(i see alot of Him in you:))

I'm so glad you have such joyfulness out of your windows. What a treat!!!
My browser has been pernickity lately, not allowing me to comment, so I'm only now able to repeat how lovely I think your photos are of this sweet little guy.
And that Sandra Heska King... she's just plain cheeky! Just because I know about helpful birdy websites and all things periwinkle. ;)
Such beautiful photos. Our grosbeak color is golden. xox
