The handsome man-of-the-nest decided to make himself available for pictures for the first time in weeks. His and his mate’s nest are well concealed and a good ways off, preventing intrusions and allowing for some privacy. He usually stays well-hidden, away from prying eyes.
On Sunday, as the wind howled, he ended up hunkered down in a nice spot, somewhat sheltered by the big blow. The filtered sunlight did a great job of lighting up those amazing eyes and you get a nice look at how well their plumage serves to camouflage them against the trees.
