 Thanks for the nice comments and votes. He is really that color. Actually it is a yellow legged honeysucker, but I didn't want to use that as the title. Great place to see birds and butterflies in Oneonta NY; Joseph Popp Butterfly conservatory. No cages, I was able to get about 4 feet from this guy.

Its body a ball, the beak a curve, fully coloured blue, yellow feet. It's a really different bird. Great choice! Great shot!
