Wow, Rob, not sure I have ever seen this color rose on a bird before. Always amazes me the colors nature can produce. Really a great shot under low light. Well done.

This is the cutest bird, ever. Reminds me of the little dyed chicks that I got as a kid at Easter. (Seemed ok at the time). Great detail and I love the light.
