Excellent captures!
We have a semi-resident BCNH in the area which I see most mornings on my dog walk. He seems to have a mate that shows up periodically, but he preens even when she is absent (or maybe BECAUSE she is absent (;-)).

A bird that is very photogenic, probably because of the red eyes and black and white body. Sometimes the black seems to have a bluish tint.
Katy, excellent set and DDLs are required.

Beautiful photos of these guys, Katy. We have many that moved into the Detroit Zoo and have been nesting in the same trees for several years now.
Thanks, John. Funny, birds that joined the zoo!

Beautiful set Katy. This is a new one for me.
Thanks, Jan. There are lots around here--they hang out in huge colonies.
