Three-toed Woodpeckers We had three of them on this one trunk at one point, drumming loudly. |
| Pine Siskin A couple of them were feeding from grasses. |

 |
Santa Fe Cathederal A beautiful building |
| Pueblo Style I just love the style of the New Mexico buildings and homes. The houses blend right into the mountains and do not distract the view |

Eagle Sculpture Santa Fe |
| Hummers, hummers and more hummers... At least 200 of them! This was one feeder out of seven. The three species were Rufous, Broad-tailed and Calliope. During peak season, while we were there, they go through 50lbs of sugar a WEEK! |

Broad-tailed Hummingbird. The hummers would sit on the bush a foot in front of us, to wait their turn at the feeders. |
| Calliope Hummingbird. A male, drinking at the feeder. You can see how much smaller he is compared to the Broad-tailed behind him. |
 |
 |
Male Calliope Waiting his turn... |
| Male Calliope Such a tiny hummer. The Calliopes were in the smallest numbers at the feeders, Rufous being a little more common, with Broad-tailed being the majority. |
 |
 |
Rufous Hummingbird This male was just the most beautiful orange color all over, with his bright red thoat. When he flew around you couldn't miss him! Return to Bird Trips
