Thanks Gus! I also put a link in the Weekly Theme Sticky above. Nice job w/ the snow.Looks good and adds a bit of winter to the card!!
Looks loverly but my brain is having trouble accepting a trogon in the snow...
It does look a little "tropical" from the bird's standpoint but I love the colors, Gus. It's always nice to have that punch of color in the winter time.
Elegant Trogon in snow: Madera Canyon
Having struck out many times on this bird, I managed a late afternoon hike Sat. Feb. 7 in Madera Canyon after a business trip in Tucson this weekend. In the rain/snow I happened to catch a male Elegant Trogon out in the open for about a minute while looking down toward the canyon from the scrubby oaks on the trail on the south side. I wish I had some photos to show, because the experience of seeing this tropical bird on a snowy mountain in the US was surreal.
some other noteworthy birds present:
Brown Creeper
Townsend's Warbler (2)
Mexican Jay
Also seen today in snow , , , , ,
I figured that that might have been the case....
