The adult male has an orange head, with black on the face and throat; the back, wings and tail are black, the lower half of the body is orange. The adult female has a brown-green upper, yellowish chest and abdomen.
Habitat and breeding are open areas with trees, often palm trees, in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. A nest is a woven pouch attached to the underside of a tree or leaf branch.
These birds migrate in clusters south to the southwest coast of Mexico; they are permanent residents of Southern Baja California , the Mexican east coast, and Belize . Some winters near feeders.
The main food is insects, nectar and fruits, and feeders also visit. Since they do not penetrate deep into the flower, they are not pollinators.
