Käyttäjän doray tunnistukset

This observation is for the bird making the fast, insistent chirruping sound. Under its call, you can hear another, harsh, rather scratchy call, which is in this observation by itself: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/179937970

An unseen bird gave a shriek that sounded like a bird of prey, so I turned on my video in case it called again. Instead, it flew overhead, so I got to see it. These photos are screen snaps from the video. It didn't call again. I was on the bottom of a drying creek bed, next to a fairly large pool. The bird flew out of trees right next to the creek and landed on the other side just past the pool.

Eggs in a 3 to 4 inch wide nest in a hanging basket of fake plants on a townhouse porch. The bird is small but definitely larger and bulkier than a hummingbird. I’ve only seen the bird (brown) as it flies away when the door opens or someone comes up the walk.
