This is one of my favorite birds. They are really elegant.

They are indeed elegant and so is this image.

Very nice Doug - I have only encountered them a couple of times and none of those encounters was long enough or close enough to see the level of detail here.

This is so cool Doug and so clean looking!

Thank you, Ben.

These guys come in large flocks to trees that have berries on them in the spring. They love mulberries. Thanks for the kind comments.

Thank you, Jim. I have been dong birds for about five years and I am totally hooked on them.

Nice! From the little bit of birding I've done, they seem to be about the hardest thing in the world to get a decent photo of- they never hold still, and most don't trust humans.

You need to find them binging on berries in the winter when they get drunk on the fruit and they are present in large flocks so there are always some to see.
