Both distinctive and good-looking birds.

Neat bird. As is often the case the male and female look so different you'd never guess they were the same species.

A beautiful set of images. He is flashy enough to draw attention and she is the perfect camouflage for sitting on a nest.

Two great pics.

Both great catches. Quite a difference between them, the males usually have the flashier plumage.

Great shots, Jack. Both of them! I got one very bad shot of this guy once and haven't seen one since. I see the female got to claim the goodies! :)

What a contrast with the female's coloring. . .wow!
Guest 30-Apr-2009 00:52

Both are fine images. The top bird is absolutely beautiful. Haven't seen one before
