CMO birds today

There are some Townsend's Warblers here among a few other common species. A visitor from Houston, who came for the festival and now can't get back home because of Hurricane Harvey, passed most of the day here. In the process she got at least two lifers... the Lucifer Hummingbird and Olive-sided Flycatcher that I know of. Here's the flycatcher.

For the past week I kept hearing a Common Ground-Dove, but didn't see it well enough to photograph before today. This one seemed to spend more time in trees and bushes than on the ground.

Still only 3 hummer species here, Lucifer, Black-chinned, and Ruby-throated.

The other day Mac Womack caught an interesting scene. A juvenile male Lucifer Hummingbird was displaying to an adult male. It is so cute to see that behavior in animals (not so much in the human animal). What a bully!
