Media notes
male called once as it flew away from agave flowers
Observation details
Male at agave flowers several hundred yards west of nest site and a female perched on ocatillo plant at a different nearby spot, I saw the male briefly with just my bare eyes, its red-purple throat was obvious and it had a different call than the other local hummingbirds, I spotted the female by its call, it had buffy underparts with a darkish stripe through her eyes and a longish curved bill, another friendly birder pointed out the nest site with two babies
