It took me quite a while to attract these birds. Now they will come within 6 feet of me to pick up a peanut. They are big and they squawk. This was taken from the deck of our little cabin south of Flagstaff.
I have never seen one until now Jen, or WC as I used to call you. It is obvious you love birds as well. Was this taken in Arizona? Excellent shot and once again, welcome back.
Tick has put forward in his comment above the question whether this wonderful bird photograph was taken in Arizona. To me, it's taken in 'Paradise'. My supposition was enhanced by your narrative, Jen. A wonderful post again!
