Dang! You nailed these two Honeycreepers Stanley!

A beautiful image of this female, although I'm not quite sure how you found her in all that greenery ;)

A beautiful little bird. Hardly less spectacular than the male. A glorious study in green, thanks for sharing Stanley.

You do spoil us Stanley, you know how I love to have both sexes side by side! A wonderful capture of this beauty (I agree with John, she certainly isn't outshone by her other half!) and an amazing setting!

A super picture you've taken of him my friend; many thanks for showing him to us.

This bird is gorgeous and fits so well in the setting. How you ever spotted it is beyond me. An outstanding capture.
