Observation details
Continuing mega, an amazing find a couple days ago by Levi Plummer. In the same area as it has been previously reported, the “horseshoe” area of mesquites. Around (32.8236110, -109.8441454). Initially flushed from the ground, flying deep into mesquites, then refound a little further towards the large trees sitting in a mesquite. Proceeded to drop into tall green and yellow grasses, feeding, then dropped even further to the ground and hopped around gleaning seeds from smaller plants on the ground. Overall very small, dark bird. Nice indigo color showed up when the light hit it right, a little bit of white in the wings, and a thick silvery bill. Photos.
