Rufous Whistler

One from yesterday - this species seems to have had a good season with plenty of them around ATM. A lovely bird with a conspicuous and sweet song.
I know, I wish the tail wasn't obscured either! Thanks for looking, Greg.

I enjoy the sharpness of this photo, feathers, eye, and color. The perch branch adds a feature too. Very good BF. A pleasing photo.

This guy's a lot more in the open than any I caught when we were visiting, Greg. Nice clean image.
