Normally this beauty is found in rocky areas of western North America. For a lucky few birders and bird photographers this individual paid us a visit here in central NJ. Albeit at a construction site, I was very happy to see this visitor, (a lifer for me) in all its splendor. Being a construction site, and after looking at several hundred images, this one showed as much of the bird as possible in one pose as he perched on a stack of steel rebar. C&C welcome.
