A stunning image
Thank you for kind words. This was a great trip; not spectacular tropical birds, but the birds were much more striking than I thought they would be.
Spectacular!
Thank you for looking and commenting. Yes, this was one of our primary “target” birds on the trip to North Dakota. Although we saw many of them, this one was the most cooperative in posing.
Love this BIF photo!
