Another perfect capture Terry.Very well spotted.
Yes, it is very sad that these beautiful birds are becoming scarce.

Thanks so much, Elaine and Hal. I agree, Hal, it is sad to see much of our wildlife population diminish.

We're lucky to have an expert photographer like you
to record these rare images. Thank you.
