Field Notes

Description:

It hovered like a hummingbird, but seemed too big to be one, and it's kindof early in the year to see them here. Pictures are a little blurry blown up, but hoped someone might know what kind of bird it is.
It was doing dives between it's rests in the tree.

Habitat:

suburbs
