Very interesting shot, Richard. I'm inclined to think, though, that the bird on the left is an adult male that wnet into eclipse plumage earlier than the one on the right. The males hatched that year wouldn't have red irises or orange bills by July -- they develop those colors around November.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Richard S. Hogg and I've been working in the Photography and Printing Industry for over 25 years. I hope you will enjoy my images, share my passion for nature photography, and nature's beauty. I have been working hard to photograph different species of wildlife and discovering new locations to photograph. If you enjoy viewing Avian, Macro, Scenic, or Underwater images you've come the the right place.
