Those are some marvelous colors. Who needs a head, anyway?

The merging of the head with the rest of the bird doesn't help ...
Good effort, Pat!

Hey, Pat, the topside of these and the white-faced are the only things worth going after. I'd like to see more USM, it does look in focus!

A different perspective, Pat. Amazing colours on the wings.

I love the illustration of the back colors, but can't appreciate it fully without the head. Just my tastes.
