Observation details
Known location; the only reliable public-access site in NM. I set up a feeder when I first arrived but noticed that many of the agave around here are already in bloom. I staked myself out at one just downhill from the road and in less than an hour I had a male lucifer alight in a nearby shrub! Beautiful hummer with extensive violet gorget, decurved bill, and deeply forked tail that was held in a spike when perched. Photos
