I followed this fellow all over the bird hosue at the National Zoo.  I say "fellow" because of the amazing bright blue on his face.  There was another bird flirting wih him who looked really plain Jane - no color in her feathers except for boring beige.  But this one was worth stalking for a good shot.

Hi Pat - What a gorgeous guy!  And what a shame that the boy birds all get to look so bright and pretty while the girls are so drab.

What kind of bird is it? I agree that this beautiful bird is probably the male. Great photo and thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays.

Color indicates the male in the bird kingdom, you are right!  Actually kingdom is the wrong word - it would be avian order I think.

Howdy and afternoon Patricia

Patricia, that there sure is a mighty fine looking Bird and you sure took a mighty fine photo of it! This morning I was out in some woods and I sure was mighty lucky, a really good Wolf walked by with in 5 yards of me.

May each and every day bring you and your family many blessings!

Have a good one

Patricia, what kind of bird is that? It looks like a cross between a ptarmigan and a fish! Bright!
