What a beautiful bird, LynEve and his stunning red plumage stands out so well against the thorn-trees and sky. He sure is a big one... looks like he could easily swallow the HLM for breakfast! Great shot!

Beautiful Lyn. Once again the focus is perfect. You must have had a good time getting all these different shots. You hit the trifecta with your posts today.

Excellent.
