Holly Grail of Madera

When you are birding/hiking in the Madera Canyon AZ area the holly Grail of birds has to be the Elegant Trogon. This birds normal range is mostly a narrow strip through Central America, Mexico and just reaching southern AZ.  We have encountered this elusive birds in the past, but not in a good location for a decent photo.  I did a little better with one of the birds we encountered on last Saturday.  Don't you just love the Christmas colors?
