The Empress of all Royal Birds. There are countless species of Birds with plumage to make any Queen jealous, but I've found one I think takes, the Royal Cake. The Golden Crowned Crane, fairly common among 'Birding Photog's', and though I agree, I have a personal affinity to the very crisp cut coloration, the nearly impossible to duplicate, Pearlescent Bluish Feathers. Above all the remarkably near perfection of plumage that IS, the Golden Crown. A Bird who's beauty arrives before it does, I venture to say and I was granted the honor of photographing one. Without further rambling enjoy the #GoldenCrownedCrane! #Birds, #Wildlife, #Nature, #NikonUSA,
