There were three coloured males in this tangle of vines and weeds so it didn't take much squeaking to get all three up and interested.

Beautiful bird. I really like the alert pose. Color is intense and detail great.

Rob, amazing colors. I am curious as to how you were squeaking to get them interested? as it sounds like a great tool.

Great alert pose you captured of this incredible beauty Rob. I like the inclusion of the thick brush at the bottom of the frame too.

Really nice, Rob. Great pose, interesting perch and I like the jumble of vegetation at bottom.

Amazing display of colors and what a name to go along. I like the head turn so you can really appreciate the color patterns, excellent shot Rob.
