The Painted Redstart is a fairly-common bird in Arizona, but as it's very active, constantly moving about and flicking and fanning its wings, it's hard to catch it standing still. Here's a Redstart climbing one of the trees near the bridge. As I wanted to reduce blur, and the sun was gone from the canyon, I shot at ISO 1600 which gave me a shutter speed of 1/125 sec --- barely enough to freeze it for a moment.
