I'm not a bird watcher, but I do strive to make my yard as conforting as I could for all birds. I have boat tailed grackles, jays, finches and hummers frequenting my yard often. Every once in a while I'll get a white egret or a red-tailed hawk, but those don't usually stay and roost in my yard. Recently, I've noticed many of these hummers around my house so I'm assuming they must have their nests nearby. They frequent by bougainvillea vines, a chaste tree, some agapanthus...but their favorite plant is a tecomaria capensis. I three of these and they are hummingbird magnets. I managed to capture this little guy having a sip of nectar.
