Observation details
See photos and video. Continuing. First seen 11/3/19, banded and identified 11/11/19 by Bruce Peterjohn. Thanks once more to Hank and Jennifer Stanton for all their efforts that enabled the bird to survive the winter, and for making it possible for so many to see it. Unfortunately, for many reasons, scheduling additional visits to this private site is no longer possible. Two out-of-focus photos included that show some gorget iridescence. The bird appears now to be in virtually complete breeding plumage; a few pinfeathers remain in the gorget area. Seen feeding from the flowers of a nearby boxelder tree, both while hovering and while perched on a twig in the tree.
