So that's where my belted kingfisher went. I think they are so cool looking. Can hardly wait for spring to see them around here again.

There is probably some imaging software already on your computer, or you can download free stuff-I use Picasa 3, or use editing software from your digital camera CD which includes editing/cropping/sizing options

This really gets us down into the nitty-gritty of finely detailed plumage differences. I ruled out female Rose-breasted Grosbeak: the bill is too small, brown cheek patch not large and prominent enough, iris not big enough, brown on throat (rather than the white throat of the female RBGR), white upperwing bars are actual bars (whereas as the female RBGR shows white spotted bars). Female RBGR also show a more defined white supercilium. RBGR don't show pink legs. The bird in the photo looks the part of a female Purple Finch.

That's it!!! :) Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.
