A great addition to the front yard aviary, Jerry. Nice pose and the red eye is showing well. I also like the perch it chose.

Certainly does have a certain "look" about it ! Nice stuff for the garden.

Beautiful bird, very nicely captured. The fall leaves add a lot. I love that these are in your back yard - I have never even seen one.
I'm on the fence about the lower branch; I might consider cloning it out for a cleaner image.
Fine work!
