Hummingbird and aloe flower

Camelia

Townsend's Warbler

This cute little bird was eating insects in the tree ferns today. He let me get close enough to take several photos. He is very small - not much bigger than a hummingbird. A search at www.identify.whatbird.com revealed that this is a "Townsend's Warbler", a bird that breeds from Alaska south through the Pacific Northwest and spends its winters from California south into Mexico.
