Observation details
Continuing adult male found by Nick Thorpe. Green-backed hummingbird that gave RCKI-like chip calls when feeding. In the right light, a beautiful iridescent blue gorget and greenish/turquoise unnderparts could be seen. The bird is molting into breeding plumage so there are still some bare white streaks in the belly. The bill was red at the base, and blackish at the tip. While feeding, a wide, slightly notched tail was obvious and the tail was flicked more often than the nearby Allen’s types and Anna’s. Poor photos.
