Very nice, Dan. I like it as is, although I might have gone for having the whole body in focus. You're certainly opening my eyes to the diversity of birds in our area - thanks!

Dan - nice shot of a lovely bird.

Have they started mating yet? The ritual is fun to watch.

Thanks for sharing,

They have sarted mating. Unfortunately, they did it out of camera range. I do want to go back, that might make some really interesting images. Thanks again.
