    I've only seen this bird twice in my backyard, both times he flew in, stayed a few seconds and left with barely enough time to snap an image. Luckily I got this one of this beautiful specimen.

    Those land forms you see in this image are out in the middle of Monument Valley Arizona/Utah. They are iconic and are usually featured in pictures. As we got close to sunset I decided to use the light on the interesting but less known rock forms near me to create a window into the valley and...
