She is definitly a beauty with her brown feather pattern, but her male counterpart is still my favorite! Why are the males always the "colorful" ones in the bird world?
We see more of the males on blogs so it is nice to see the female here. She is lovely and your photos are beautiful as always Bob. I've never seen one of either sex here.
she's got beautiful feather patterns, too. :)

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Excellent shots!
ReplyDeleteActually unfair that in the animal world the males are much prettier than the females. Look at the peacock and the pheasant and the mandarin ducks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures
she's a pretty one...but not quite as striking as her mate!!
ReplyDeleteshe has the more subdued look. i like it. HE wants to be noticed...that's for sure!!
terrific shots!!
