[Birdnet] Anna's Hummingbird in Washington County

[Tim Avery]

This afternoon Colby Neuman and I found a male Anna's Hummingbird at the Red Cliffs Campground north of St. George.  The bird was initially seen flying out of the campground and south out of view over the day use parking area.  It flew over once again while we were up in the rocks to the southwest of the campground.  A short time later I relocated the bird, in the picnic area, and as it squeaked at me, was able to locate it in the tree and confirm an all dark head of a male bird.  Colby was able to let me know that the call I heard was a sure sign of a territorial male.

Ironically there are no bird feeders of any kind up this year at the campground.

Good Birding
