There were four of these birds in the Reid Park Zoo aviary in Tucson, Arizona. This bird, however, was the only one putting on a show. Photographed with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ 28.

    This is a wonderful image. You have captured some fund antics here. Not the usual perched bird. Great shot!!!

  • Thank you so much. The bird was moving so fast I was lucky to get one that was sharp and interesting.
