A common bird around here but I never had a good shot of one on Cattails do to BG congestion in the marshes. This year conditions favour this composition with clear Bgs and a choice of colors.

One of the better shots of this species ever posted; the open bill makes it that much more special.

A fine image, Ken!
It has all the right ingredients; detail, sharpness, pose, perch and clean bg ...

An awesome shot but likely a juvenile male - the red seems too developed for a female.
