It appears to be defending the sages and other blooming flowers at north end of Crystal bridge conservatory near the wheel hubcap pyramid sculpture. There were 1-2 female RTHU nectaring there too. Fairly rare fall occurrence away from nectar feeders in central Oklahoma. Otherwise, not much happening migrant-wise. A yellow-shafted Northern Flicker and N. Yellow Warbler were only other transients detected during my visit.
