Good capture and detail, he's still got his eye on you Frank, really like the background, it really shows him off

The lightings very good in this shot Frank there's no shadows or harsh sunlight. The birds pretty but don't ask me what it is I'm English.

As a professional ornithologist, Frank, I can tell you without a doubt that you captured a rare shot of the endangered blue chicken. Hunted to near extinction for its unique taste (tastes like chicken), the beak is thought to be an aphrodisiac and is highly prized by the Chinese.

You failed to mention anything in your narrative about the ancient string which I recognize as a remnant of the kite flying that you recently did with Benjamin Franklin.

Seriously flawless work.

It reminds me of the 'Lesser Spotted Ooh my Goolie Bird' mate! ..lol

Terrific shot of whatever it is!..

This is a very good capture of this sweetie, I don't think it's a blue bird, their color is more blue overall. I tried to google something up, but I failed on this one Frank, I'm curious as well. :) It's feathers almost look like a blue jay, but the rest of it's build and look does not fit that of jay. You got me????? Blue birds have a a brownish coloring on their breasts, just a tip for you. Let me know if you find out what it is please.
Tigs♥ =^..^=

GREAT CLOSEUP WELL DONE

MNICE AND CLEAR CAPTURE.

I don't know what he is Frank but you got a great shot of him .

Great composition of the scene and good focus, DoF and details in the photo Frank. She appears to be either a mountain or western bluebird, perhaps a juvenile. That's the best my research could come up with. Good work with this capture.

I think Eugene is correct ... the bird looks to be a juvenile bluebird. You are very lucky to capture this one with the camera as bluebirds are known to be very elusive, shy, & protective of their young. I like the detail on the feathers & the DOF is super. Very well done, Frank.

Wonderful image, Frank. I really love the colors.
