Thanks Yuko! I was thrilled with how cooperative this guy was!
Love the colors.... love the shape of the tail... well I love everything about this spot! It's just amazing!
You have to raise it from a hatchling . . . hand feed it only when it responds to the stretch command. Let it go. Refind it. And then give it the stretch command. Pretty simple?!
Ok, can you share your secret on getting the bird to pose for you? ;-)
very beautiful
Lovely tail on this one. Nice shot!
