Observation details

By east side of golf parking lot. It would perch on pare branches of trees on NE corner of lot (last tree row before sidewalk) and come down to feed on fire spike or fly to nearby RTHU to quarrel. Comparatively smaller, with large head and small body, short tail. Slight rufous color to undertail coverts, flanks, rump and part of rectrices. Some green-orange gorget feathers showing, mostly on sides of neck. Harsh light but obliging bird! Lifer #1261
