That 2nd shot is really nice Don, clean perch and a pleasing background too. Well done!

Very nice photos of this beautiful bird. It's always nice when they come back each spring!

This bird has black flight feathers which I think means he is at least a second year male, so maybe he has a mate somewhere around.

Nice Don!

Great detail in these pics and nice poses.

I lived in Saskatoon for a total of 7 years over two different periods and I can't say I ever remember seeing this bird.

Is it common?

Cheers,
Ryan

Thank you.

I'm shooting from a blind and the last shot was almost minimum auto focus distance


Cheers, Don

Thank you Ryan,

I usually only see the male for a week or so in the late spring. Perhaps they don't like my "yard"

I'm on 10 acres of poplar/willow bush a dozen or so miles west of the north end of town..

Cheers, Don
