Magnificent first upload-a badge well deserved. I’ve yet to see one. Congrats!
Congratulations on yet another first upload!
Thanks. A break in the cloud at the right time.
Good job to find and capture this bird. We have seen it in Peru.
Well done Brian .
Great lighting
It is a common migrant but in the right conditions it can make for a good subject.
Nice light on the bird to capture the iridescence.
Agree. These can be at the tops of tall trees…great job
Terrific still – always tricky.
Very elegant capture
Nice shot
Beautiful.
Great find!
Agreed, a great looking textbook bird. It was out at the goose buffet with 1500 of its Canada Goose friends so I had to wait 75 minutes for them to get back. It never came as close as I would have liked but close enough to work with.
Cute fella. Great light
Hi Krish – thank you for the notice. It is very helpful. The site is updated, including the previous uploads and which those other photos have been split into a separate species.
I’m glad you got it.
The Indian pied myna (Gracupica contra) isn’t listed here. FYI.
It’s always nice when more than one is captured in the shot.
The nice thing for me is that this new staging location is less than an hour away rather than the 2 1/2 hours I used to travel.

Amazing to see here and especially this time of the year.
Such different habit than their stronghold in South America!!
Nice catch,Brian!
