I have a lot of trouble shooting this bird because the flash turns the blue to a very light blue. I've seen this effect with other blue birds, and wonder what it is about blue feathers. I don't have an acceptable shot without the flash. In this photo the blue is adjusted in photoshop to look more like my idea of the real color, but the shiny flashed look persists.
