Hummingbirds were swarming at Lajitas today with 40+ birds present. We banded and/or observed the following: Blue-throated - 1 male (present since Dec 17) Anna's - 20 (ASY M - 3, SY M - 3, AHY F - 14) observed 30+ but ran out of ANHU bands and had to quit catching at that point Rufous - 4 (all females) observed at least a couple of birds that did not get caught Broad-billed - 1 female (present since Jan 1) We be back down there on Friday to finish sampling at Far Flung and another location. Will return to Lajitas next week, probably on Tuesday, to resample and check for turnover in the Anna's population.
