 These birds are residents of the pacific coast ranges and breed in mountainous areas on Vancouver island. I was stoked to find this male strutting his stuff one morning in Strathcona regional park.

Sweet! Only seen these scampering off in non-breeding season. Hoping to get a photo along these lines in Yosemite this spring.

Outstanding Mike, very nice display. The road/trail isn't the "ideal" setting perhaps but looks good with the bird's coloration and he stands out nicely.

Terrific display, Mike! Like the splash of color and detail in the tail fan.
