Nice, liv2trip ... I also like #3. I have seen up to three of the females at a time, but have yet to see a male.

Beautiful birds. Some selective sharpening would make them the look even better imho.
It's easy to do. In PSCS :
1. Make a copy of the background layer.
2. Make the Copy active.
3. Use USM to make the bird look as sharp as you want. Don't worry about how the rest of the image looks.
4. Make the foreground color black.
5. Hold the Alt key and click on the Add Layer Mask Icon. The sharpening is hidden.
6. Make the foreground color white, and using a small brush paint in the sharpening on the bird.
