On a visit to Patagonia Lake State Park in southern Arizona I was fortunate that after a week of hiking through the brush I finally encountered this beautiful bird. I had been told by birder friends about it but over the previous two attempts at locating it being futile I was really amazed when I finally got to see it. It was hanging out in some very deep thick and dark forest but it was very accomodating. Camera was a Canon 5D Mk III with a Canon 500mm f4 lens on a tripod. Settings as follows. Aperture was 5.6, speed was at 1/100 sec and ISO was up at 1000 due to the very dark conditions in the forest.
