Ah ha, so that’s what type of bird that is….okay :) This is interesting because every year a bird exactly like this one comes in my backyard and seems to be very aggressive towards the other birds in the bird bath, chasing them away, shoving them aside, and I guess yelling in bird language at all the other birds, it seems quite angry all the time and very territorial. So I’ve often wondered what species this was. Great shot and a lovely bird Elaine…I guess my visitor just has an attitude lol :)
