Shining in the Sunlight

I've never shot a picture of a cowbird before - they just never caught my attention, I guess. But this one was in a very shaded area of trees with just this one shaft of light coming down - hit him perfectly to bring out that iridescent color that caught my eye. Have no idea where this date and time came from! Just noticed and will have to check to see what I've hit!

While they are definitely one of the 'nuisance' birds....you have him showing off in his beauty!
