Male Calliope Hummingbird photographed by Curtis A. Marantz on 10 April 2022 at the Lake Tamarisk community, Desert Center, Riverside County, California.
Podrobnosti k pozorování
While checking out the hummingbirds that were coming in to feeders in yards along the north side of the main lake, I spotted a male Calliope at one of these feeders. Although this bird was relatively close and in good light, it did not spend a great deal of time at the feeder, and it was chased off quickly, though it returned to the feeder a second time for a short period of time. I never heard this bird vocalize and given that I was trying to get photos, I did not study it all that carefully. I nevertheless noted that this was a conspicuously small bird that appeared to be slightly smaller than the bird that chased it off, which I thought was a male Black-chinned Hummingbird. I also noted that it was compact in shape, with a relatively short tail and a moderately long, tubular bill, but in general, my views were sufficient to note that it was a very small, plump bird with a short neck, a relatively large head, and whirring wings. Clearly apparent was that the upperparts were a deep, iridescent green, but the underparts were paler and more whitish. I cannot now recall whether this bird had a greenish or buffy wash to the flanks, but I did think they were darker than the central underparts. Also clearly apparent was that the gorget represented long, slim feathers that were wine-red when they caught the sun, which resulted in a streaked appearance to the throat. I have some recollection of seeing a green crown, but I now have little or no recollection of noting the patterns on the face or tail. Given the brevity of my views and my concentration on getting photos, I suspect my photos will show more on this bird that I can recall from my field observations.
