    Kerry, what I like the most is all the shades of blue-green irridescence. Beautiful. excellent HA for this pose.

    Yes, Kerry, I agree, you captured the often hard to photograh blue-green irridescence very well. Like the angle you shot the preening pose, so you can see the bill detail clearly.
    Nice work!
