You're right...down heah in Florida the same demeanor in March. They were undaunted in their very distinct calls and would let you get very close. Now ....not so much!!! Beautiful bird and you grabbed it!

Spring is when they are too involved in singing, they are hanging out alone, and they don't seem to notice the car driving up. The rest of the year, they graze in the grass in groups and fly off when you approach.
Taken on 3 different days in March.

Terrific. He is establishing his breeding territory and is not about to be run off.

Katy, one excellent set and DDLs show how sharp they are. The bird is beautiful and it is the first time I have had the pleasure of seeing one.
