still rare after years of effort to reestablish a viable population in what was once their native range, but I have never seen them this close in the wild. A small flock settled in a Mountain Almond tree right at the entrance to Pierella Gardens and one of the guides alerted us all to their presence. What a treat. We watched them feeing actively for close to a half hour, before they moved on. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications.
