Amazing finding one of these so close to the city!
I had no idea we had these here either Lori! It was just by luck that I was hiding from the rain under a tree and spotted a flash of red against the green leaves.
Unfortunately not Gary - they stick to the east coast.
Very nice.
Awesome . Are they in WA as well? :)
Wow. I didn't even know we had one of these.
