Observation details
One was visiting cardinal flowers in my back shady garden. I grabbed the most convenient camera, my old compact ELPH. After the bird flew away, I immediately checked the front terrace and found the other visiting Salvia blooms (as seen and listed multiple times this summer). I don't think it was the same bird, which would have had to fly over or around my multi-level row house in the middle of a row of units. Photos were cropped then enhanced to compensate for window glass. Best shot is the bird on the front terrace perching for a short rest on a plant support.
