Blue-throated Hummingbird
Observation details
The previously reported male Blue-throated Hummingbird was seen very well, usually perched in the tree holding the hummingbird feeder that is closest to the fountain. See the attached photo to verify its identification. Because it spent most of its time in the shade, the throat only appeared bright blue a few times when the sun hit it. This hummingbird was significantly larger than any of the other hummingbirds present.
