Observation details
Wow! Heard this weird metallic grinding sound and I knew I should know it, but my mind blanked. The bird then moved and I realized what I was hearing. Singing male, red on throat and forehead, no metallic whir as it flew. Recorded. Chased away by another hummingbird before I could get pictures. Waited in the area quite awhile, hoping it would come back.
