I've had just about enough of you! Spot on. (To me, the body looks like a N.A. Thrush).

Sorry, I only have about 500 more to go...
As I recall, it was about 40 degrees that morning, and I think he is just puffed-up to keep warm, and appears "rounder".

A very cool looking bird, Sandy. Excellent detail except the little bit of blown white. Nice comp and bg.

Interesting looking bird with just as interesting a name. Wonderful shot with the pose and background, well done.

Very nice, Sandy. We get its cousin here in Interior Alaska, but clearly the handsomer species stays home.
I look forward to the remaining 450 or so...
