They are colorful.
Closest part of their range to you would be SW Texas, Central New Mexico or the East Coast of Mexico in the SW portion of the Gulf.

Nowhere near.

It depends on your definition of "near".

Wow, Jerry, this is a good shot of this elusive bird!
Thanks Sue
I have now seen a male and at least one female multiple times, they are snatching peanuts I put out for the Jays and at least once peeking at a 4x4 in the frame of the old swing set in the back yard and the power pole in the corner of the yard. I may have some new regulars to my feeders. According to the bird book the males claim a large territory with multiple females. The range map also shows them as year round in this area.

I am really not that steady anymore myself but:
1. I use a pistol grip on the tripod collar.
2. I brace on something every chance I get.
3. I use higher SS these days.
4. I use the "time your breathing & heart beat" method I learned for target shooting years ago.
5. Finally I "cheat" and use burst shots then discard the rejects.

I pretty much do the same things, Jerry. Excellent shot of the bird.
