It's sad to grow old, but nice to ripen.

About the image: Taken 11-01-11 on my deck - thru the sliding glass door. As I looked at this picture I knew something was "off" about it - and realized that he doesn't have his full orange beak yet. I am assuming this is a Juvenile since his beak is still black - although you can see some of the orange starting to come in.
He is quite handsome with his red tufty head. Cute picture!!!
ReplyDeleteGood photo through the glass. We have so many birds here, but unfortunately not much color, so I always enjoy looking at others' photos.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. Nicely captured. Oh, my gosh - the sun just came out here. Sorry, but it just surprised me!

ReplyDeleteI always love pictures of these, cos we don't have them here.
It's sad to grow old until you think of the alternative!
And he's still plump and fluffy and that little wispy tuft is a giveaway. So cute.
