ELEGANT

Photo by S. Auberle

found this photo of an Elegant Trogon, while going through old  files--one of my first attempts at digiscope photography.  Such an elegant bird!  Found only in this country in far southeastern Arizona...and since this photo was taken there was a serious fire in that habitat, so don't know if he is there any longer...

only birds

sing the music of heaven

in this world
