Also in November 1998, this Broad-tailed
Hummingbird (below) showed up at
Peggy Harding's feeders. These photos were taken by Peggy shortly after it
arrived. By the time it left in the spring of 1999, it was looking much
more like a male Broad-tailed Hummer. If anyone has photos of it taken in
the spring, please let us scan them to post here.
Interesting NETFO-area birds of 1997:
On
a crisp autumn day in 1997, at Camp Tyler in Smith County, this immature Golden
Eagle flew over
a group of awe-struck NETFO-ers.
