These are cavity nesters and we saw a nesting box being frequented by a Cactus Wren in the parking lot

This one was captured at the Rancho Lomitas RV Park where we set up a feeding area

Male Broad-tailed Hummingbird also in the Rocky Mountains

Plantcutters have the most bizarre song you can imagine

flitting all about

Bubblegum variety is especially popular

Female Broad-tailed Hummingbird demonstrating her amazing skill at hovering

This was another "sitting down"  find

The white border around it's bill and its smaller size distinguishes it from a Double-crested  Cormorant

it is very close to Antartica

but challenging to capture since it prefers to perch lower on stalks amongst the many twigs

Tennessee Warblers were very plentiful at the Convention Center
