Perfect pose to showcase this beauty and the remarkable tail feathers.
Not the smallest nit from me - beautiful!

Really nice! I just saw a show where this bird was acting as sentry for some ground mammals. That tail is quite impressive and I'm sure very difficult to include in a frame, but you did it very nicely! Sharon
