I do apologize for the quality of this picture. I was in the house, and the bird was near a tangle of vines in the yard.
I quickly took four pictures, because I haven’t seen a blue grosbeak in years. The red on its side is the red patch on its upper wing.
Grosbeaks have a bigger-proportioned beak to use for cracking seeds open.
And here was one … in my yard … posing for the pictures.
