A handsome little guy.  The lighting gave you just enough detail in the black to make this work.  Good shot... Mike

Thanks Mr Mancil! It's mating season and they keep puffing up to impress the girls, I think.

This a wonderful photo of a favorite bird from my childhood.  I've always wondered why such a bird with such striking color combinations was never tap for a teams mascot? Regardless, great photo.

Regards, Michael
