Hi everyone, 

This wild looking species is always fun to watch as they fly from treetop to treetop. The motorcycle-esque sound of their wing display is nearly as impressive as their blonde hairdos. 

With such interesting features, these guys are definitely deserving of a tighter portrait, but the surroundings on this misty morning were too good to pass up.

Thanks for looking!
Best of luck,

This image has a painterly quality in a good sense, Jess. Great shot.

This is such a neat shot Jess. A bird I have never seen and the wide perspective gives a good idea of it's habitat.
