Observation details

!!! playing at playground and noticed a medium-large bird in flight, first thought Stellar's Jay but tail was short and returned to perch, so immediately thought Lewis's and it was. Bird was hawking insects from top of conifer, had reddish on front of head, then pale collar between head and body, pinkish-red on sides and belly, dark on back. Flycatching from this perch for ~45 minutes, including some loooong sallies, mostly ignored an Anna's hummingbird that was angry with it. Got a few dismal phone pics through binos but then Evan arrived on bike & got some photos. Jim and Sabine arrived to watch bird as it continued to flycatch from same perch. Bird then disappeared for a bit as others arrived, but we refound right before we left and it appears like it stayed in general area (though moving around) for a bit longer. sweet bird
