Actually, Kody told me it was there!! We don't see all that many of these around our area, they seem to be further north. So pleased to show you all. #9590961Robert R. Goodman August 21, 2011

What a beautiful bird. Nice of the bird to perch in an attractive background for a photo shoot. #9910499Chris Ebben January 10, 2012
Thank you. I was at an outdoor coffee shop once & these birds were there trying to get their tongues into the sugar containers. I sprinkled some under the table for them, kids saw me & did the same & got caught by the waitress & got into trouble for encouraging the birds. They were good kids, they didn't dob me in, just grinned. #9911900Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
