Thanks venusflytrap. They're regular visitors here too. I set up my blind near the feeder and took this shot from 20 feet away.

Scott, they do have a few nice calls and are handsome birds. Too bad they're parasitic though.
Caleb Steindel
nicely done, tom, we get them a bunch around here, nice to see this great shot by someone else!

I've commented on this before, but I love their one of their vocalizations. It sounds like a pebble dropping into water. :-)
