Oh, what a beauty! I've never seen one of these birds puffed up like this before - a brilliant capture, well done! :clap:
 
Ooooh, Myyy!!! This is an exquisite bird. There is a population that has successfully established itself here, in California, and has been doing well for several years now. But this, this is an outstanding shot. Goes in "My Favorites" :t: :t: :t: :t: :t: out of 5 bravo :clap: :clap:
 
What an amazing bird. It must be related to the Bobolink ( Blackbird family ) that we get here in Canada .
 
WOW!
What a beautiful bird. Never seen anything like it!
AND
A great capture to show it off!!
