What a wonderful habitat photo- a sweet pose and a story to tell. Such a pretty bird- have not seen this species much here. I just love the mood created here.

After posting this I noticed a blue cast in the gray of the wings and tail, but it is not there in my image as processed.

Greys look fine on my display, Paul. I love the two entrances to the nest. Great pose and nice looking wood surroundings.

Paul, so glad you included the top hole for this story-telling image.  The curious look-back pose is great, excellent and interesting behavior shot!

Paul, I really like this one--especially the crop with the bird in the lower right corner.
