Observation details
This bird was first reported by the homeowner to Susan Campbell in recent days. We observed it twice in a 30 minute period, and initially narrowed the id to Rufous/Allen’s. The bird had a mostly green back, with rufous on flanks and lower belly/undertail. Interestingly, the tail had significant rufous coloring that extended up through the lower back. The throat showed a fair amount of gorget spotting. Subsequently trapped and banded by Susan Campbell on 12/12, confirming an id of adult female Allen’s. Attached is a photo from the homeowner. Other field marks noted from the photo include orange highlights on the face, a partially orange eyebrow, and white spot behind the eye. The bird was not seen the day after it was banded,
