Great bird! Maybe it'll stay & hunt those fields & get included in our CBC.

As Lynda and I drove by it took to the air displaying the bright rufous on the tail and back and the blue on the wings. This is a species we don't see that often here on the mountain so it was a nice surprise. Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt
