“The bird seemed as if about the size of a large dove or pigeon, although this is an estimate considering it flew anywhere from 10 to 20 feet above the ground. It had a rounded, plump belly that I can only describe as an obese pigeon. The feature that stumped me was the coloration of the belly: an unnaturally bright metallic scarlet. The only way I can describe the sheen and color is like a polished Christmas ornament on a sunny day.”
