Great to see a close-up of one of these...instead of as a speck hanging off cattle or other things ..:) he's very cool-looking! Beautiful colors, great profile! :!: :!:

Totally gorgeous! The feathers, light and background are really great.

Very nice plumage. I would wish for a very slkight head turn toward the camera and leaving less space behind the head and more in front of the bill.

Looks like my exwife after I forgot to mow the lawn. Really nice shot.

Excellent shot. Just a slight turn of the head toward the camera would of put this over the top. Real nice as posted though.

I'm positive that I saw this bird this afternoon at the Farm!!!!!!!! We all know what a difficult place this is to get shots like this with such a great BG. Well done, Jean
