Hi Rick. Great to see a photo of this species posted. Interesting perch that also matches/blends with the subject. I might suggest positioning the bird a bit higher in the frame to get him less centered while also showing off the great perch. The background is a bit too defined for my personal tastes, others may love it. What sort of lighting conditions was this taken under?

Thanks Rick, that certainly does change the whole complexion. I would not have guessed it was taken in the dark, well done!

Very cool to be able to get a shot in the dark.It's neat to see what these funny looking guys look like after hearing the call for so many years. Nice job.

Good night shot of a species we don't see often

Qute a flash shot when I can't tell if it was night or day, Rick! Detail looks great except maybe it would be nice to see a little more detail in the whites at the throat. However, that's a minor nit. Very fine night shot.
