Wow, he really is beautiful. That red is amazing! I bet he's striking when he flies. And, I agree, taking pics of birds is exceptionally difficult. Just as I think I have them in my focus, they've flown away. I'd call this photo a great success!
know what you mean, I have been trying to capture a wood land speckled breasted brown thrush mother and young flying baby that she stops on my fence top to feed to no avail, the detail and color on your shot is just fantastic, and a definite FAV
