Hi Adam! Thanks for all the additions and for participating! Just to make sure -- is this a Black-chinned Hummingbird? Also, I see you are using "flickr" -- there is a setting that will show your photos larger ... when you hit the share button, you'll see a drop-down menu at the bottom that will allow you to change your image size -- i use "large (1024x768)." Thanks again! James

Yes, I will start using larg, and no this hummingbird has a slight white line under the ear.

I had to get confirmation in another thread first, but I don't believe we have an American Pipit on this list yet.

Great shots Karen!

I got a couple more this morning:

Hutton's Vireo


Hammond's Flycatcher

Love those blue-billed Ruddies James.
Gorgeous Lazuli Bunting Kevin! I'll be looking for them out at Colony Farm in the coming week or so.
And Karen you definitely have got the hang of it all. I haven't seen a Cinnamon Teal yet this year. Really nice additions to the list - congrats!
Zac, as usual, you nailed it.

I haven't been out much lately electing to stay at home. I got my FOY Black-headed Grosbeak this evening.

Nice Grosbeak Judy, I just found a few Evening Grosbeaks out back!

I've been checking the Olive-sided Flycatcher tree for the last few days, and he's back as of today (3 days later than usual)!

Who knows if it's the same one but I like to think that way

A couple more from the weekend:

Warbling Vireo


Black-throated Gray Warbler
