This guy was chasing another Red Bellied WP back and forth across the yard for several minutes before he perched for this image....his raised crest is a sign he was still quite upset....a turf war I suppose. The final result was better than I expected because it was very low light.

What a beauty...rarely seen in my area and only during migration. Nice shot.
