A couple of firsts for the year


A few migrants starting to show up at the oasis, including this male Rufous Hummingbird. He wasn't cooperative and I didn't have time to wait around for a better photo. Had to go to Alpine.



Also first Widow Skimmer for the year at the oasis.


I thought I saw a juvenile Ruby-throated Hummingbird too but my Lumix was too slow to get a photo. I brought out my Canon but didn't see it again after that.

Couldn't resist photographing this lovely male Queen.


And photographed this turtle so I can get it ID'd. Someone asked me yesterday what kind I have here and I didn't know. Gotta remedy that.
