Shot at Smith Oaks in High Island, TX last weekend. This is one of only a small number of decent images from that location, in less than optimal light around 1:30pm.

Blues and pink go together well. Also like the wing and head positions.Don't know if I've ever seen one of these on the tip of a stick like this before.

Nicely done Bill. Would like to see a larger size to see how the detail held up.

Harsh light but you handled it. Great pose.

Still very nice, despite the harsh light. You have good eye contact with the bird. Sorry you had a hard shoot there. At this time of year, 5-7pm really is a better time to visit.
