Very nice, dramatic capture. I didn't know until a few years ago that these were only found in "our area". Birding is such fun!

Great shot, I saw these for the first time last summer at my sisters house in Orangevale but couldn't get close to them!

Lucky you to get such a striking bird in your yard. The yellow bill adds a nice touch of colour compared to our black-billed ones.
