Harrison: “Birds may not build nest until several weeks after mating but are inseparable at this time. Nest seldom found except by accident; close-sitting female will not flush until almost stepped upon.”
I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I really, really like this picture. What a beautiful bird.
Thank you for your comments, gentlemen.
