The subtler females every bit as much so as a bright red male.

There were a nesting pair here through the summer and fall. The female disappeared suddenly. Her mate lingered around for maybe ten days before he moved off.

One stopped by for five minutes on a journey through a few weeks ago.

The coming spring will be my first in NY, and much joy will be coming with it.
