Taken last month during our time in Gunnison National Forest, this guy was a regular visitor, jealously guarding a feeder he had claimed as his own. One evening as we were enjoying a pre-dinner adult beverage, he was particularly active, regularly flying within a few feet of us giving me plenty of photo opportunities. Here he shows off that gorgeous ruby neck against a pretty sky.
