Striking!! I hear these birds are attracted to the machine gun shutter sound of a D5.

Awesome! You must be providing good bird habitat in your backyard - I hope that he sticks around to show off his all-red plumage (which I think is unique in North America)!

thanks wise guy
it was strange that he did a fly around after 20 seconds and then came back for another 20 seconds

I have a perfect setup, lots of thick trees and bushes, 10 bluebird houses, 6 feeders and 4 suets, an AM and PM rotating perch

Pretty sweet shots. You should post a couple of shots of your set-up with your feeders and perch, etc.

This last one FTW!! A diva-like pose from a beautiful bird captured against that perfectly complementary background.
