Yes, I know, it only qualifies because of its name. These are one of the relatively few neotropical migrants we see up here, and I love their rollicking song.

I would say they have impressive beaks and definitely qualify for this theme. Nice colors and the pose really does show off the birds beak.

Yeah, the side angle definitely showcases his beak. Very nice--i love that yellow in the feathers!
