Thats some beautiful detail you got Jim, nice HA and loved that red eye. nicely done.

[Stu Bowie]

Great dorsal view Jim, and you have timed the capture perfectly to get the eye contact and HA. Tack sharp with oodles of detail, and the open beak puts the cherry on top.

Super comp, head turn, dorsal view, open beak, great detail. Fine image all around, as usual.

Jim, spectacular shot. Dorsal views always have more impact...and you also got the open bill as well. Excellent head turn letting the sun hit it square. Perfect techs. Thx for sharing.

Fantastic top side view, eye contact plus calling. What more can ask for!
