Observation details
First noticed at our feeder yesterday June 27. Visited the feeder 3 times this morning. Relatively stocky body. In shadow the breast is light gray with a dark back. In sunlight the bill is red with a black tip and the body is a blaze of blues and greens. First lands in a tree near the feeder and is still for about a minute and then approaches the feeder. Landed on the feeder to feed, rather than hover. It did not stay at the feeder long. Took three or so drinks and then left the area. Did not make much sound in flight. You can hear some hummingbirds coming, not this one. Vocalized soft repeated "chirps" on one visit to the feeder. Photos.
