I think Kate Wolf has a song with the words Desert Wind in it...Kate past away in the mid 1980's...She was a friend and a great singer songwriter...Nice image Jane. A memory in aviary format....with your signature method!

Lovly colors of this "Pitacohe" I like the effect of the wind in his feathers. Beautiful blue sky.

Bellissima composizione con l'uccello che domina e il soffio di vento che alza le piume, ottimo POV, molto buona la nitidezza con i bellissimi particolari dell'occhio e del becco, molto belli i colori e il cielo "standard". Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

That's one thrasher up there, looking quite angry is it?
The yellow eye is a treat to see and the ruffled feather telling the conditions around.The blue sky is a great add on into the composition.Good lighting and sharpness too.
TFS & Cheers

Well done,
