Couldn't Resist

[Donde1]

I've posted this guy many times before but I can never resist when he gives me a good shot. Male Red-headed Barbet. I suspect visitors to Northern South America photograph him about as often as bird photographers in the US photograph Cardinals.

A great image.

I need to convince the Mrs. that we need to retire somewhere that I don't have to shovel 10' of global warming every winter.

Yes you do.

Neat, green feet too!

You truly have a bird paradise. Great shot.

Lovely photo you made. Those green feet, so cool. Cropping a slight bit off of the left side,and cropping a bit off of the top, would improve the strength of the overall,total composition,based on the bird's placement and the bird's line of gaze/head direction.

Good point. I usually don't center them. Overlooked that this time but easy to fix.
