Submitted by: Arriflex2
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: First thought this was a very small hummingbird. Early morning and low light conditions made it difficult to see or photograph. It flew around our patio area for more than 30 minutes -- going to every bush/ plant we had in the surrounding area. Extremely fast moving. First time sighting and has not returned.
