We first noticed this rare little visitor in our feeders Friday morning. It looks to be female or a juvenile as it has not got the red thighs as yet. It is on its own so I am assuming it has got away from someone but it is quite aware and is not tame. I have taken many photos and it is just beautiful. I actually feel sad for it as it seems to need social interaction with other birds but is primarily alone. |
