Lovely oasis morning!

I arrived at the oasis around 7 AM to service feeders and then head back to town. Immediately upon walking over to the mostly empty hummingbird feeders I heard and saw a male Broad-billed Hummingbird. That was awesome!



When I finished with the feeders I spent a little time surveying the abundance of dragonflies present. Mosquitoes weren't too bad. Was happy to see a good number of California Spreadwings.



I had spent a total of three hours at the oasis, yet when I got back to town I was totally exhausted and had to take a long nap. Good thing I didn't need to water trees, but next time I go, I will. Old age sure sucks!

Congratulations on the Broad-Bill. I haven't seen one of those yet.
