With cold temps + rain in Erie County, PA, time to head back to southern Arizona in August, this time at the amazing Tucson Audubon Paton Center for Hummingbirds in Patagonia. A ‘must stop’ spot for easy birding, featuring, yes, lots of hummingbirds.
Just outside Patagonia, beautiful Blue Grosbeak (m):
This is probably female Broad-tailed Hummingbird. Note the speckled throat and tail with rufous, black, and white tip:
Nice shots of male Anna’s Hummingbird:
Coming up soon, the cavalcade of generally acceptable bird content continues with more from Florida, Arizona, and, of course, Presque Isle State Park! (With ducks, and lots of them!)
