Observation details
Bird first observed 730pm, August 11 in backyard treetop. It had yellow eyes, dark body and was about as large (if not a bit larger) than nearby Steller's Jays with a long, drooping tail when it flew. At 945am August 20, we saw it again, feeding on millet at front yard bird feeding area. We watched it fly up into pine trees, walking up and down a couple branches then fly up and across to our backyard. The bird is a molting adult male with conspicuous blue iridescence on it's crown and some purple iridescence on it's wings.
