This image is among the first dye transfer prints created by photographer and naturalist Eliot Porter (1901-1990) after receiving a Guggenheim Grant to create the first pictorial survey of birds in the American Southwest photographed in color. 

It's a significant photo in the history of Porter's career and also in the history of American color photography and was once in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
