Despite the pouring rain I decided to drive through the loop road in Montezuma Wildlife Refuge in Seneca Falls NY.  I managed to get this shot of an Eastern Kingbird showing its red crown! Frankly, I never knew this species had a red crown, so I checked and sure enough it is usually hidden but it's there! Please enlarge to see details.

+1... And awesome eye contact Ed.  Looks a little unhappy about the weather.
Make your life spectacular!

Very cool to see the red spot, Ed, it really is hardly ever visible.

Definitely the 'look' a king would give his subjects!
