Hi Eileen!
These are fascinating birds and I'm always happy to see pictures of them here on FAR. The unusual B & W monochromatic color treatment that you've applied to this one's picture is interesting and enjoyable,my friend!

Comment from Terri Fors
I guess I would have preferred the color but it really does work what you chose to do. The feathers are so close and sharp in focus. Feel I could reach out and touch this bird.
