Thank you! They were considered endangered because of over-hunting, so hunting was forbidden here. They're making a comeback. I see small flocks in the Santa Ritas, too. I had never seen the brilliance of color like this on these birds, though, so I was totally amazed.

Quoting ChrisAnthemum:
People hunt them here; maybe that's why I can never get close enough to take a shot like this. Great closeup of these magnificent birds, Pat!
