After a miserable rainy, gray day yesterday, the sun slowly came out this morning. Feeling couped up from Saturday, I headed out as soon as it looked like the sun definitely was coming out.
Slowly but surely the numbers of hummingbirds are becoming less and less. They were a little slow moving about this morning as temperatures had cooled off the the cold front Saturday that brought a rainy cool day. This hummingbird was taking advantage of some late blooming trumpet flowers.
I am seeing more Common Yellowthroats now than I saw the entire summer. Always nice to get a good shot however.
There are still some Grosbeaks around but all I am seeing are females and young birds. The adult females are beginning to get a more golden look about them. I guess the males have already moved on.

I found your blog on the Nature Blog Network and I enjoyed reading the latest posts. Your photos are wonderful! What kind of equipment do you use to get such clear shots of all these birds?
Hi Katherine, Thanks for the complement and sorry for the delay in responding. I use a Canon 5D with a 100-400 lens. Generally it is adequate for what I do but ocassionlly, I do wish for a longer lens.
