This is one of my favorit birds, very hard to find. I see them often sitting on a fence off State Road 74, the road to the creek, but have not been able to get a good photo of one as of yet. They just don’t seem to listen to me when I asked them to pose : )
TrEaSuReDiMaGeS in reply to Karen Moore’s comment
Thank you very much Karen!! The only ones I’ve ever had the privlege of taken photos of have been in captivity. Although I have seen them too. :-))
