Okay, just making sure! Thanks! :)
Great series of photos!

Thank you so much for the ID, Liam.

Liam, I added the original picture before I edited.. : )

Yes Liam, I take all the pictures I share. The 3rd and 5th picture is when the bird was in another side of my property, (it is a family that just move to my property because I only saw this birds once before).
