Thanks for the comments everyone. This is but one of two Elegant Trogons spotted this year in the US, that I'm aware of. Both are in Madera Canyon AZ. I was very very lucky to not only come across the bird, but to be so close and with it facing me, in good light.
I was laughing about it all day. I told my wife that if all I saw on this 11 day, 1800 mi road trip, was this Trogon it would be a successful trip.
And Max, The Yardbirds and Sonny Boy Williamson in 65? Now THAT'S a memory!
