24th of November ..Summer morning... birds and flowers

And suddenly after a lot of rain, a little bit wind from the north...a blue sky... perfect to go out and see birds and my dog was happy, he finally could come with me... only me and him and the nature and birds.

A great spot was a nice field  with all kinds of flowers, never did see so much scintillant Hummingbirds together, lost count.
I did count 11, but I think there were much more..and I did see very on expected a violet bellied Hummingbird..only 2 rufous tailed Hummingbirds, 3 snowy bellied Hummingbirds and 1 green violet Ear.
Great spot.
As on the picture, this area seems to be very good for birds of prey:
...but the first 3 hours  I did not see one..oh yes only 2 black Hawk Eagles, that's it.
The on my way back, it was pretty warm at that point..I did see 2 broad winged Hawks, road side Hawk  and an American Kestrel

I did see a lot of migrants, also around midday, they were pretty busy.
Around 1.30 pm I came home...happy! My dog Spot and me had a great long birdy sunny morning!
