Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to spot them yet, let alone photograph them. But I'm so glad to see all your pictures of birds which are beautiful as always.

So glad you saw them!!!!!<br /><br />IF we have owls around here, I never see them.. BUT--I'm not the intense birder that you are. I just love the ones that come to my backyard feeders.<br /><br />We do have some Hummingbirds --and I have 3 feeders out for them..

The height of hummingbird love is the end of July and into August with September and October becoming the waning months. Anna's and Costa's are permanent residents here. Broad-bills are commonly rare hummer in Tucson all year round. During several counts, we've spotted them at feeders during December and January! Permanent residents? Perhaps. The rest all head south, but several Blue-throated and Magnificent have also become year round residents at homes in the various canyons of Southern Arizona. It's quite fascinating:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-72383219543861119422013-07-25T15:11:24.002-07:002013-07-25T15:11:24.002-07:00Wow, Chris!
