Observation details

Large and dark in trees of Pollinator Garden. Remained for ~30 minutes while we stayed to observe. Well seen by ourselves and a couple of museum docents who had made the original identification purportedly with a view of the blue gorget that we unfortunately did not get good looks at. Very dusky overall and mostly seen in shadow. White eyebrow & short white mustache. Noted large pale tips to outer rectrices when the bird changed position, supporting BTMG over ATMG. I am not very familiar with the intricacies of possible hummingbirds, and largely accepted the docents' identification. Hopefully my photos are sufficient for record. Photos.
