 Notes
The main photo on this page was taken in our backyard in Sandy, Utah. We have at least one of these in our backyard each winter. Often we are host to both a male and female. They are amazingly large, entertaining, and colorful. We have also seen them in the forested areas throughout the Colorado Plateau and most of the mountain west.
