She blends in well with the foliage. Maybe that's why they aren't seen very often.

Talk about serendipity! This is such a gorgeously coloured shot, both bird and vegetation well matched.

You did well to get this fine shot of this rare bird, Hank.V

sometimes you get what you wish for...well done to salvage a good look at her hiding in the shadows..

Well spotted and captured, Hank. These are such beautiful birds, and this one is no exception.

The bird sure fits into the surroundings. Good place to hide, but not from you! :)

Nice! Great find, Hank. I agree that it is not common to see them.
