Such a great looking bird! Thanks Shanna. I saw this one all the way up in the Bunya Mountains but I have a couple living in my backyard.
Beautiful shots, Kerry!!!!
Thanks Tom. The eyes are fantastic. Such a vivid blue. At first we thought it was a catbird until we saw that give-away blue eye. Catbirds have red eyes.
Beautiful bird, love that blue eye!
