Observation details
Male (dull red) ate from feeder. Later, another male (much brighter red than the first male) ate from feeder. At one point, adult male and an immature male (faint wash of red on some upper breast feathers) perched near each other on a dead limb, and the pale red male perched nearby. The adult male and the immature male held their wings slightly away from their body, likely due to the heat. After a few minutes, all three ate from the feeders. It became obvious at that point that the immature male had a bald area around his right eye. His eye didn't appear to be injured or infected, so maybe it is a weird molt situation.
