(she's a Saturday Birder). We planned our route so we would end up over there in hopes of seeing this rare hummingbird. We missed on the hummer, but it was great to spend some time in Alison's beautiful yard. Thanks Alison. She sent me some pictures of the Anna's that are included in this week's slide show.

Female teal are an id challenge, but you can separate out female cinnamons by their same bill and body shape combined with a plain face.
