A male Red-Legged Honeycreeper was observed at close range on Boca Chita Key for about ten minutes by Biscayne National Park ranger Toby Obenauer on Tuesday, March 25 at 11:00 a.m. Obenauer's detailed description of the bird (iridescent violet-blue body, light turqoise crown, black wings and tail, red legs, and curved beak), leaves little doubt about its identity.
