I've been trying to get a good shot of this bird as it flies to the feeder. (but haven't yet!) The red tufts on its wings look like shoulder pads as he coasts in for a landing.

What an amazing set. So clear. Love #2. He appears to be looking right at you. karmankwarner · 2012-05-09: 21:10

This is a lovely set. =) watercolordaze · 2012-05-09: 21:14

He's a really handsome (and noisy) guy! Great features in the second shot. djnana · 2012-05-09: 21:34

They look much better than my attempts! I love these birds, so dashing! McMommy · 2012-05-09: 21:56

Very cool shots, Larry....I really like #2! Keep working on the bird in flight....and good luck, that's a tough one. At least for me! lookagain · 2012-05-09: 23:24
