Simply marvelous! One of those images where you'd swear it was a composite, the head of one kind of bird superimposed on the body of another. Very cool, wonderful detail.

I think this is a keeper Charlie!

I like the angled perch and love the pose this little one is in. Seems like a defensive posture of some kind. nice work!
