My Favorite: Beautiful little birds, but not a species I've seen very often. You don't find them in my part of South Dakota, so it takes a western trip for me to have any chance to see them. I've seen them several times though, in some quite varied locations.  I've seen them in Oregon, California, Glacier National Park...but the photo below is of a male on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona, in a little mesquite tree.
