Observation details
Glad I got to visit this bird again & it was lovely bc hardly anyone was around. It was nice to see it perch in various positions + obtain pics of feather detail. It's molted more feathers since I saw it with the spot on the chest is getting larger and the neck looks more bare as well. I watched the bird poop several times so that's good as it means it's eating well. I don't take video usually but the pics of it in flight show a sequence of the tail pumping: 1)tail is horizontal 2)you can see the tail beginning to spread and bend down 3)tail is bent down as it pumps vigorously while feeding. Pollen is all over its beak and tiny flecks on the head. Adorable bird.
