This is the second time that I saw this species of bird. It is stikingly beautiful. . . about the size of a robin, black head with yellow eye, horizontal white moon shaped area below head, red-orange breast, irridescent peacock blue back and irridescent green-blue wing with some subtle bands. It has a narrow beak. It's call sounds like a simple tweet tweet. I saw it in Hollywood once near a major intersection and the second time on a tree in a busy shopping center. This is Hollywood, Florida
