    Here is a species I don't believe I have seen posted before - The Wire-crested Thorntail from southern Ecuador. They remind me of little aliens :D

    Spectacular bird and great capture. I think you could consider brightening the front of the head and breast a little if you wanted.

    Looks like a Green Thorntail punker! I like the pose, HA and hairdo. Well done Glenn!

    TFS Glen I've never seen one of these before, very aptly named. I like the composition which ties in with the bird. Would also like to see a little lightening of the front part of the head.
