Media notes
This was a hurried iPhone recording made with the sole purpose of documenting a somewhat early record of Broad-tailed Hummingbird in Albuquerque, NM.
Observation details
An adult male feeding on flowers in my front yard. I first detected it by hearing the characteristic whistling sound created by the bird's outer primaries. I heard it first through the window. I also saw the bird well though I didn't have binoculars readily available. At close range its emerald green back, raspberry-colored throat, and long tail were obvious. A iPhone recording was made and is uploaded here.
