Media notes
A single Fiery Topaz in a separate location, away from the interacting birds recorded earlier. I'm seeing red berries, but no flowers here. Background includes: Plumbeous Pigeon, a trogon, Yellow-tufted Woodpecker. Recorded using a Fostex FR-2LE with a Sennheiser ME62 covered with an 8" shock mount & Auray fuzzy windshield.
Observation details
We watched and recorded 4 in one tall, red-blossoming tree, males chasing each other and occasionally other hummers in constant battle. One additional male was sitting on a perch in a different tree of the same species—though mostly in bud rather than full bloom—further out the trail.
