It was a cool morning, and these three were lined up on the railing, warming in the sun.

That's awesome, must be a nice backyard!
Oops.
They seem to have discovered my back yard, and show up a half dozen at a time to scratch around or visit the bird bath.
You have the description in the scientific name field :) Very cool to see three of them though, I think I've only ever seen three total in my life!
