Thanks for looking David - very hard to get within 15 yards and they won't sit still. Exasperating critters to capture.

I'm not sure pictures do them justice and I caught him in full noon light (difficult), but I'm also not sure one could take a bad picture of them as they are so colorful. The female at first glance looks kind of plain but a close photo reveals irridecent colors. I'll try to post one of the female but it won't stay posted as I'm not real fond of the capture. Thanks for the look Judy!

That is one good looking bird! Having him in his natural environment makes this special to me. - v/f/su

I've found they will be concentrated in a few areas and seemingly extinct in others. One of the hardest for me to find and get close to. Thank you for the look Alana!
