Tucson Ariz.
and a Duck in the other hand,
by the time I was ready it was
around a point near by. I waited
around some time trying to find it
but failed to see it again, It
could not have gone far.
Saw several Belted Kingfishers
also Killdeer, and Sandpipers,
and an Osprey flew past.

Trochilus atypoides?

Dark brown, Bill and feet black.
Sound of ghy. I hardly know what
to call this, It seems to come nearest
to Anna but it is too light colour
beneath and the bill is larger than
that of any X species I have with
one, which include, S. platypterus
anna, costae, henshawi, and T. atypoides.
Saw no males this morning
but found another nest with an egg
which I left for a day or two.
