Oh … he’s beautiful. I like the wispy pine needles too. Ponderosa Pine or White Pine?

Thank you so much, Denise! I’m not sure which type of Pines those trees were. I need to get better at identifying them since I am hiking in them more and more. I can tell a Juniper from a Pine tree now. I’ve made baby steps. 😀

Did a little research. It’s probably a White Pine. The area has predominately White and Jeffery Pines. Now to learn those differences! 😀

LOL! I bet that’s what he was singing hoping all the lady birds would come flocking to him since he’s just here for breeding season. 😀

It is fun to see all that tropical color against the more familiar pine needles. Cool shot! Are these common, where you are?

I think they’re just passing through or breeding here in the west. Lemme look at my book. Hold please… yes, breeding here during Spring maybe into Summer per my Nat Geo book on birds of North America. I don’t know where they live the rest of the year.

Stunning bird and capture, Deborah! I’ve not seen this bird when out west before, hopefully in next couple years in our travels. 😊

Thank you so much, Donna! I hope you see it the next time you’re out here, but I think it’s a migrant and is only passing through. I only see it in Spring.

How gorgeous, Deborah. I saw a few of those lovelies last year. Apparently they were just passing through. I haven’t spotted any this year. Hugs on the wing.
