Bearing Gifts

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Over the years the GBH has been one of the most interesting and beautiful birds to watch during the mating season and they have never disappointed with their wonderful displays of affection. The mate is always so eager to help in building the nest and this one appears to be very proud !!

Wonderful pose and action Judy just wish the shadow on the eye was not there.

The little gift adds to this, I like the details and setting and wish the wings were all the way up. I might try to lighten the eye.

Judy perfect timing on the touchdown. The greenery in the bill contrasts so with with the bare branches of the perch. It's almost as if the bird is trying to brighten things up.
