[obol] 2 more photos of hummingbird

[Mike Patterson]

I'm not convinced that the initial photo and subsequent photos are of
the same bird, but...

If they are, then I think we're looking at an Anna's.  The new pictures
show a different primary to tail ratio and the throat color (which I
checked with the color meter on my photo processing software) is decidedly
red, not purple.

One of the photos is good enough that it should show bill corrugations,
which would indicate a hatch-year bird.  The bill looks pretty smooth
to me.
