My Favorite: Not a species
I've run across very often! A bird of the southwestern U.S., they HAVE been
found in South Dakota on extremely rare occasions (a handful of sightings). The
only times I've seen them have been while on travel in Arizona. The photos
below are all of a male on the outskirts of Phoenix. I was staying at a hotel
for a work conference, and the hotel grounds had some nice lakes and vegetation.
This guy was hanging out around a pond just outside my room, making for a
welcome, and relatively easy, photo opportunity.
