Wonderful shot and you got the lighting exactly right - looking at other photos of this species, that is difficult to do.

Wow! A real beauty, Stanley, and so well taken. I thought it was a rooster at first glance.

Fantastic birds and image! And many thanks for the ID on that grasshopper |=)| I looked it up on the net and discovered it goes by many names, including Green Bird Grasshopper, so yet another "bird" species from my trip :-O
