Observation details
Female attending nest cavity with vocal young along entrance road bordering meadow. Male pure Red-breasted in attendance as well. At first glance appeared pure Red-naped (rare at this location) but closer inspection revealed extensive red on the breast patch and some red outside the breast patch (toward the shoulders), typical of hybrids of these two species. Found by James Maley.
