    Thanks to Matthew Studebaker for locating this target species for me.
    Six days of sunshine and some very cooperative birds, made this one of my most productive trips.

    Hi Alan,
    I am speechless...
    WOW! WOW! WOW!
    The tail, the perch, the calling pose, the BG, the layering and texture of chest and throat feathers, the IQ are stunning.

    A stunning image for sure, Alan. I love the bird's stance and open bill. Even the foliage is interesting.

    Great image Alan! I like the calling pose, raised tail, perch, IQ and clean BG.

    I have seen it in smaller size before. In this size it looks even more striking, Alan.
