Male Fairy Bluebird, MN Zoo, Oct-2010

This was easily one of the most elusive birds I came across at the MN Zoo's aviary, during my trip in October 2010. I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten this shot, and that it came out as clear as it did (even allowing for flash).

Hope you enjoy.

Nice photo mate, but the competitions over.
Sorry

 

[Hix]

Well, wait for another four or more entries and run another poll.

@kc7gr - that photo is a cracker!

[KCZooFan]

Good idea Hix, I think I'll do that.

 

[kc7gr]

Thanks...

Thanks, Hix.

You should see the large-file original. The red-eye effect is so strong, I was tempted to dub it 'Demon Bluebird!'

Interesting thing is, I think that may be the normal color for the reflective layer in the bird's eye.

Happy travels.

Well, IF we're going to run another poll, I'd like to enter this photo of a Fischer's Turaco which I took yesterday at ZSL London Zoo.
