Really nice capture of this bird. I'll be watching to see if someone identifies it. The shape of the beak is interesting, kind of hooked at the end.

Nice capture Alan! What a neat looking bird. A very long beak huh? I would be interested to find out more about them. Don

Thanks Alex, Alandra, Carol, and Whittler for your inspiring comments. I have no idea what these birds are called. They show up this time of year then disappear. They have some great tunes that they sing and I enjoy listening to them. I am though having trouble getting good photos of these black birds.

great profile of the bird, Alan. His beak looks almost iridescent gold, and his eye shows up well also. Any idea which type of bird this is?
