changing colours very fast now as mating season is about to begin. I saw three on Saturday in eclipse. The next few days I will post them and hope to find one that is already done. Hard to believe the wonderful iridescent green colour their plumage becomes. They start as a nondescript light brownish (as on the head) bird with a short tail.
The bird is beautiful, but I also appreciate the work of the photographer. I like the lines composition in this picture : from the tip of the beak to the end of the tail, and the support structure. The colour of the bokeh matches the colours of the bird, but with faded tones, so that the bird pops up smoothly from the background.
