Joan, your ID is correct. I have shot them there myself. Wonderful detail. Perhaps a bit tight and if you had got a frame with his head turned this way. it would be better.

Beautiful colors. In general, I too prefer a bird not to be looking away.

Sweet detail in close like this. A little too tight for my taste.

The iridescence is amazing. Nice job for being hand held at 1/90. Congratulations.

love it , the background is very complimentary to the bird. the bird's bill in this position is very striking and makes the head turn less of an issue. thanks for posting.

Bit tight, but, an immaculate capture with superb comp and exposure.
