Nice looking bird. I would love to see one of those up here.

Thanks, Shirley. They're pairing up around here, and quite visible right now. I think they like attention.

I agree, Joe--these birds can be real hams. They love to pose and sing for you. :) Very nice shot!

Hi Karen, and thanks. They've been doing a lot of singing lately. Wonder if it's part of the mating ritual.

Here are two more from last week. The second one is improvising his heart out.
