Good morning, I had a RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD at the Style Ranch entrance to Santa Teresa County Park off Fortini Rd this morning. It was an adult male with rufous all the way down the back. It was about half way up the hillside around 8:30. I did not see it again on the way down. in the same colorway, the RUFOUS CROWNED SPARROWS were singing but not cooperative until the top. Then, one came up a foot from the travel and started warning me off. Ohhh so scary so I had to leave. A handful of HORNED LARKS were at the top but I didn’t get a hint of grasshopper sparrows yet. Enjoy, Kirsten _._,_._,_
