We first saw these in late winter 2020. We have at least two if not a three being a mated pair and a fledge. I have only ever seen the fledge with another one, presumably an adult.

This bird has only come to our backyard one other time, June 2019, and we never saw until until April 2020. You can see from the pictures how easily they hide when perched and when they are flying they are very fast.
