Подробности наблюдения
Saw at 12:48 and 12:59 at the coordinates 32.1102068, -104.4628800 and 32.1102000, -104.4630534 (these coordinates were wandering while I was there - exact coordinates of the spot are 32.1099760, -104.4622170). Showed up singing again at 3:26 in the same Hackberry tree. I heard that it also showed up at 2:00 in the same tree, but was not there myself to see it then. Had been waiting 1.5 hrs before we saw it the first time. There was a light breeze rustling the leaves and when it stopped a bunch of birds popped out, including the Blue Mocker. Appeared silently in the Russian Olives at the first coordinates and then disappeared for a few min (got pretty good looks). Popped back out a few yards down into a small Hackberry. Sang and ate 5-6 berries before flying back into the Russian Olives and disappearing. Excellent looks. Close and fully exposed except for the leaves of the branch it was on going across its stomach. About the size of a male Great-tailed Grackle. Dark blue changed depending on the light with a bandit black mask, red eye, black bill, and some fine white/silvery streaking on its breast. Long, prominent tail that was wide even though it had only spread the width of two tail feathers. Gorgeous! At 3:26 it stayed mostly hidden behind Hackberry leaves but I did get to see it’s face. Jim and I named it Dave. Looking at the restrooms from the road, turn left and walk past the picnic tables. When you come to the tall grass, there is a footpath on the right side. Take it and when the trail splits left and right, go left past a big tree on your right to the stream with the nature conservancy fence and sign. There’s a walk through opening. It kept popping into the hackberry trees just across the stream to the right of the walk through in the fence.
