Observation details

Continuing. First reported by Paul M on 12/8. Female. Whitish eyebrow, whitish under eye arc, small white spot on wing, white undertail coverts, buffy chest and belly, darker above. Sticky face. Seen for reasonable amounts of time multiple times between about 7:20 and 8:30 by the back northeast corner of the parking lot, where I think she has been previously reported. Her favorite plant seemed to be the narrowish tree with the pink flowers. She also went into the tree to the left that had a lot of dead branches and twigs, and sometimes down into the small bottlebrush bushes near the ground. Seemed to be feeding on nectar. Her movements were very Hummingbird like. She sometimes hovered with very rapid wingbeats to feed in the flowers, and even as she moved around in the plants and between plants she looked a lot like a Humminbird moving around. Bigger, but reminiscent of a Hummingbird. Photos.
