Observation details

Briefly encountered feeding in oaks, accompanied by a 'daggetti' sidekick. Spectacular brilliantly-colored RBSA with bright dark red head/breast/upper belly, contrasting sharply with bright yellow lower belly. This subspecies is surely of the Bay Area’s most visually impressive rare birds.
