Hi there,
This morning at Alice's Garden, next to Huff House near the main entrance
to Rice University, Ben Van Allen had Broad-tailed Hummingbird.  It was
feeding in the turk's caps. There may have been a second Broad-tailed as
well. There was one Ruby-throated.  Also, 10 Franklin's Gulls flew over at
the same time we saw the broad-tailed hummingbird.
we've had quite a few migrants this fall at Rice, but numbers are lower,
especially sparrows. This may be because the very productive weedlot from
last year has been mowed down.
