All three are stunning Steve! You seem to have a personal relationship with these guys.
I won't tell you how superlative these are until you tell me where you live to photograph the little beauties.
Thank Steve, now I will say that the detail is beyond belief and then the colors. I am in awe. W. Va., I am surprised. I live in the semi-tropics and only see an occasional one. I have even put out feeders, without any coming to them. Keep shooting and posting them, I love looking at them.
The male is starting to look a little disheveled -- is he moulting or are there other males around that he's been tussling with?
Brilliant photos, as always...great compositions and the detail is just amazing.
