[Birdnet] Chihuahuan? and a hummer

[Tim Avery]

This past week I was working in San Juan County and had a chance to look at
about 400 Ravens.... oye after the first 100 it was rough to keep looking.  In
any event I photo'd this bird on Friday morning on Hickman Flats Road.  It
definitely had white feather bases and the bill looks "shorter" with quite a
bit of feathering on it.

Any thoughts?

Another interesting bird was this hummer (Black-chinned/Ruby-throated type)
photo'd on Thursday on the east edge of Doc Redd's place in Blanding:

Note the short primary projection, dark auriculars, and shortish bill:

And the real interesting point... the gorget showed magenta:

I didn't get a good look at the shape of the primaries, so thats not a lot of
help.  Any thoughts on this bird...

Any questions or comments are welcome.

Good Birding
