It was a very busy day at Ash Canyon. It has been widely reported that the Lucifer Hummingbird has been showing up regularly, and this little bird attracts a lot of people. I got there early, but had to settle for the last parking space. From where I sat, I only saw the Lucifer twice, both times on a feeder, never hovering. While not my preference, I took a few shots that included the feeder.

There was a nice variety of birds today, a few I had not seen since last year. In particular, It was nice to see the Western Tanager back again. Both male and female Lazuli Buntings made an appearance, too.
