Really nice Luke, it can be a long time between seeing red-shouldered, let along getting a great pic like this. well done.

Thanks all, I wish you could of seen it coast off that limb over the creek about fifty yards and then effortlessly lift over the opposing bank of trees.

Very nice. When I see them they are always too far away to photo.

Nice shot. Thanks for the name of the bird. I have a few shots from last week on vacation where two were doing the mating ritual. I wasn't sure what the name of bird it was.

That is a good image of a gorgeous bird Lou, thanks for showing us.
