Karl, the prey adds so much to this wonderful shot, love the raised crest, colors and the lovely details on bird when viewed large.

Thank you all.
I managed to observe a nest site nearby.
I put up the perch winter time and they just loved it..
It was covered with lichen originally but it weathered off by feeding time.
These guys were so tolerant it is hard to believe.
Now the nesting is over and I miss them.
Great birds.

Great pose, Karl. Dragonfly is a real bonus! Tough bird to get as its usually high in the tree tops and in shade!
