Missed out on the fun!

A group of naturalists visited the oasis yesterday. I wished I could have been there. I was stuck in town recovering from a stomach virus that my husband was still sick with. It's all over town. My case was short, but violent.

In town, the hybrid Anna's x Rufous Hummingbird is still present. As best can be determined, it's a juvenile male. It really loves the Turk's Cap flowers. Since birding is really slow, I spend a lot of time photographing it.

That, and watching hurricanes (Helene & Milton) on TV, is about my main activity lately.
