    Very nice shots. I think you have an adult in breeding colors and a juvenile. The males and females are pretty hard to tell apart visually, I would guess (and it's only a guess) the top bird is a female base on the color of the lower mandible.

    Thanks guys.Hunter I may be confuted on them but always thought the first with all the colors was a male and the second was the female. Your probably correct thanks for that. I always try to id them correctly but I id them wrong sometimes.
