Observation details
a known bird that we chased, found the day before by Ron Smith and Brian Ahern. The light was poor -- we were looking west in early afternoon -- and my photographs are unsatisfactory. In our scopes, we could see the dark plumage, streaked cheek and throat, and purple speculum lacking obvious white borders. I greatly increased the light balance for one of my images to try to bring out plumage details -- especially the purple speculum -- but I wasn't successful.
