[Birdnet] Anna's Hummingbirds at Red Cliffs Campground

[Webmail rfridell]

Hello,

There is a cooperative male Anna's Hummingbird hanging around at Red Cliffs
Campground, Washington Co, UT.   Actually there is a female as well, nesting
in the cottonwoods along the creek, but she is very difficult to find.  The
male however, likes to show off and is usually singing and displaying south
of the loop road.  It usually is perched on one of several desert almonds or
creosote bushes in 'a bowl' area south of the loop road (on the left shortly
after passing the entrance kiosk).  I took some photos last week and will
try and send Milt a few to post on the Utah Birds website.

Also Costa's Hummingbirds are currently frequenting the penstemons and
feeders in our front yard. The  Sommerfelds and Paul H. were able to stop by
this weekend. If others would like to drop by and watch for the hummingbirds
(or Hooded Orioles and Inca Doves) let me know and I can provide directions.

Regards,

Rick Fridell
Hurricane, UT
