Texbirders,
The broad-billed hummingbird continues to put on a show for MANY visiting
birders this morning and into the afternoon in the coral bean tree at the
front of the house. We are open today until 8 pm and reopen tomorrow
morning at 8 am.

Here is a photo of the broad-billed.

Novice birders should be forewarned that the broad-billed hummingbird has a
blue colored throat, but the blue-throated hummingbird (no confirmed
sightings since Tuesday) does not have a blue throat.
