What a cute little guy. Another bird I have the privilege to see that I never knew existed. He has some really nice colors in his plummage and the background is unusual too and adds interest without distracting us from the bird in any way. Thanks, Jim. A really nice shot.

I agree with Cindy you did a nice job with what I'm guessing was a difficult backdrop - he's another cutie.

You do a good job of shooting through the glass JimboB. What focal length is this one? I can't get close enough to the wild ones to do any good. Excellent work.

I like the work you did on this image, especially the background. It's an unusual looking bird in coloring. Nice job.

Very good job Jim on capturing such good color and detail. It is difficult to shoot through that type of wire.

Dots pretty much said it all Jim - but what I am wondering is who named all these birds. Some have really strange names don't You think?
