I've read that this bird is declining due to habitat loss...we have two of them in the yard at the same time almost daily. There is no easy way that I know of to determine gender.

Gorgeous photo, Joer. Love to know what camera and lens. How close is the bird?
Thanks for asking.
Sony A7R3 and 100-400 f4.5-5.6 @ 400mm, f8, 1/250s, ISO 800, flash and cropped. About 25' distant. One main advantages of a high MP camera is the ability to extend reach by cropping while maintaining image quality.
The image was shot during overcast/low light hence the flash.

Joe, my books do not even try to tell any differences. Love the photo.
