It’s quite a striking species even next to nearby cardinals 😊
Yes in the 100F weather, it was a treat to get in that setting. I had to wait for the lens to unfog that morning

I had that same problem at -40C 🙂
Nice capture of a great looking bird.
Perfect tree to contrast the bird.
I like it. I saw the species years ago in Arizona but without good equipment to capture the moment.
Nicely done.
It wasn’t stopping to smell the roses but daisies were a good second.
Terrific find – and flowers as a bonus!
Nicely captured with the rain. Congratulations on a new species (number 2498 at this time).
Nice that you got it in the open.
I like the pose. Oddly enough there have been two near Gaspé Quebec for some time.
That’s a bizarre adaptation but the result for the photo is great.
I hadn’t seen one for quite a number of years so when this guy popped up, I was extremely pleased. It obligingly remained for a couple of minutes.
Love that species. I usually have a tough time lol.
Love it.
So vibrant – amazing job Krish.
WOW. Stunning work Bob.
What a capture! So nice to see.
Gorgeous shot

Thank you – that was a lucky perch 😊
