We see these occasionally around here, but never close enough to get a decent shot. Good one!

Great capture. Saw one in our neighbor's yard the other day, but couldn't get close enough nor did i have a strong enough zoom lens.
Doris Potter replied:
Thanks Paul. It really is a matter of luck most times (and having the camera and lens ready). I was fortunate!

Beautiful, a lot of detail and feather relief, great photo. A rare bird down here.
Doris Potter replied:
Thanks Robert. They seem to be more abundant here than ever these last few years. I love to see them and hear their calls and loud drumming. I hope they will become more common one day in your area.

This is a great picture of a spectacular bird, I think I've only seen these from some distance, so it's great to see one this close up
Doris Potter replied:
Thanks Gary. I was thrilled to spend time with this bird at such a close range.
