    Image was created on February 14th.
    This bird is an extreme rarity in Ontario.
    Initially I thought it was a she.
    Since then someone more familiar with this species indicated that in was a young first year bird.
    Thanks for looking.

    Hi Karl, the colours on this fellow really pop against the winter BG, and you captured a cool pose ( pun not intended ) Maybe a touch off the bottom.

    This is one of your best Karl.
    I think the IQ is exceptional and I like the way the bird is nestled amongst the snow piles.
    Well done,
    Gail

    Very nice Karl. Better than the thumbnail looks. Killer feather detail and nice colors against the white snow BG. Great pose too. Well done

    I agree, this is the best of this series you have posted thus far. Ideally the head would be turned a few degrees more towards us, but I am digging the overall pose and snowy surroundings. Awesome colours and details too...very well done!
