Beautiful feather detail and feather sheen captured in this great closeup Bill!

That's interesting Bill... I still get them coming in hordes!!!

He really is showing his 'gloss' isn't he. That's a super picture you got my friend.

Looks as if this one just stepped out of the beauty parlor. Gorgeous close-up of this shiny starling. TFS Bill!
