512 SW 60th St., Des Moines, Polk Co., IA
|
Rather open urban area on southwest side of Des Moines in bottom land. There is a large deck behind the house with hummingbird feeder hanging from the eve and crab apple tree behind the deck and adjacent to the garage. A large vacant field is behind the property.
|
The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Don Stolz, Carole Stolz, Eugene Armstrong, Eloise Armstrong, Pam Allen, Reid Allen, Ann Johnson, Jim Dinsmore, Jim Fuller, Bob Cecil, and Aaron Brees. | Elimination of similar species: My experience and references of Buff-bellied Hummingbird suggest that the cinnamon color, extent of this color toward the throat, cinnamon rump/back, and white eye spot do not fit this species. I believe that the features shown in the photo of the Arizona 'mystery' bird in Field Notes are a perfect fit for the Des Moines bird. I do not know of specific information on bird trafficking in Iowa. We had a Yellow Grosbeak north of Des Moines in December 1990, the origin of which was never explained. | The original documentation form event lasted from 07:50:00/08:40:00.

The documentation form by Rodger Junck is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include unnamed sister. | Elimination of similar species: Most familiar with red-tails. I have had more than a dozen of them at a time circling my combine during harvest. Have seen them 'displaying' against each other over a rabbit as well. In fact, I see them most days - but they are considerably too small and, except for the Krider's, would be wrong color. I have no info on if Kriders have a white head and white feathery legs | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00 - -09:35:00.
