Cornwall - I'm pretty sure this is the remaining bird from the pair that had bred here for several years. The male was injured in the spring and because its wing could not be repaired it was euthanized unfortunately. They had been using an old industrial smokestack platform as a nest site. The dark area behind the bird is inside the smokestack.

Sue Bishop: Great find and capture, Brian!
BrianMorin: I have been by the site a number of times with no success so it was great to have a chance to both see and photograph the bird. Adults have such striking plumage.

Ahmad Shah: Wow ! So beautiful, awesome shot.
BrianMorin: I have been hoping for a chance to capture this bird in spring plumage for years. In my region we very rarely find any that pass through in spring while in the fall a few juveniles do show up. This was out of my normal range but worth the trip. It is an attractive species, not only the bright colour but the beautiful upper feathering.

Alfred Bog - Two pairs were feeding and doing courtship calls. It was great to observe these large birds. They all had varying amounts of dried mud on their feathers which they toss on themselves in the spring, making it look like a plumage change.
