Detalles de la observación

Brief looks on four occasions and a single photo taken when it was at the feeder. The Rufous/Allen’s Hummingbird was very aggressive towards it and chased it off each time it appeared. Bird was seen and photographed again on Wednesday 26 November (see https://ebird.org/checklist/S286256961) with better views and photos allowing for ID confirmation. Bird is easily recognizable due to deformed bill with a small lump on the upper mandible. Female; hummingbird with long black bill; bright green upperparts; white throat and breast (no markings on throat); black primaries seen and photographed on 26 November. Brighter green plumage and darker (black) primaries separate it from Black-chinned Hummingbird.
