Photos: Anna's Hummingbird, Hepatic Tanagers, Las Animas cty, 6/27

[Thomas Heinrich]

I made the trip up to the Trinidad area from Santa Fe (where I work during the summer) to see the very cooperative Anna's Hummingbird at Paul Tennery's. What a stunning bird! A big thanks to Paul and family for welcoming birders to his home!

I met David Chartier at Paul's and we used Polly Neldner's directions to the Hepatic Tanager site on CO Hwy 12. The first spot we checked produced nothing. David pulled over a few tenths of a mile down the road and heard the tanagers. Thanks David!

I would say the site was closer to .5 mi from MM65, in other words 64.5.

I've uploaded a few photos to my galleries at Pbase:

Good birding,
