Had a couple of hummers at the feeder here in town today. One I didn't get a good enough look at to ID. My best guess would be Broad-tailed. Here is the only shot I got of it before a male Rufous chased it away. Pitiful photo, I know, but when a hummer comes in and I fear it won't be long, I just click without focusing, then if I have time, I focus. I figure a horrible shot is better than none. As it flew in, or off, I saw some orange-ish color on the flank. So that eliminates Anna's. That's the best I can do. Hopefully, it'll come back again, but the Rufous is very territorial.
Also had a bunch of Yellow-rumped Warblers foraging in the pecan trees. What was notable to me was that some of them were the Audubon's and some were the Myrtle's.
