The photographer writes;
As a writer I am loathe to use an exclamation point so my carefully considered use of two should give you an indication of the strength of my reaction when Papa Museum came out of the shrubbery on a last August afternoon. Wooo. Give that bird a comb!! He has since improved in appearance and is enthusiastically tending to his three fledglings. It is always a high point of my day when I encounter any member of this family.

I wish you could all meet this particular bird in the flesh, er, the feathers. He is very entertaining and now has considerably improved in appearance.
