David Friederich replied
This image was captured last May, but I was new on RB, and had a small watchlist. The image didn’t receive much coverage, yet I think it is worthy of attention. So I moved it to the front of my portfolio. I am glad you like it, Elaine.

So well taken David – he’s looking straight at you! Goregous! :)
David Friederich replied
He was wondering what that strange creature was with big black nose in the middle of his face. Capturing this little guy was a total thrill. He was so small that it took a 600 mm lens from about 12 ft. to get this. Thank you for your comment, Holly.

Wow. I’ve never seen a male Rufous before. Plenty of females though. Your shot is simply stunning. It must have put a smile on your face!

This guy posed for me quite a bit one day, and certainly did put a smile on my face. Thank you for your comment and the compliment.
