I kind of missed the boat last month when these colorful birds migrated through the Denver area and never managed a good shot of them. This past weekend, a trip to the Colorado high country helped to make up for that.
There were quite a few around and they were extraordinarily patient, far more so than I usually experience with them. This particular one had staked out a perch on a nice boulder next to Eleven Mile Reservoir.
