I've heard of these but I don't recall ever seeing one. Stunning! Thanks for sharing. As for touching up the photo - you've done a great job, and this is a wonderful spotting! A ranger once said to me that the most important thing is to record the spotting, and the photo is far less important. An awful photo is still a record of a wildlife encounter! I for one have certainly become less pedantic about my photos over the years :)
The state bird of my home state, Iowa and 2 others. Thanks Sally.
