Broad-tailed Hummingbird up Cabin Gulch Rd. East of Townsend MT
Observation details
Found bird about 80 yards up the road from Highway 12. Difficult to locate but I could hear it and finally found that it was using the mid level of the shrubs in the area to perch rather than upper branches like a CAHU that was closer to the highway. Manged to photograph this bird. Later, further up the road along the east side of the creek near the large parking area with the small kiosk I heard a hummingbird and located a male broad-tailed feeding on the many mountain bluebells. I'm not sure if this was the same bird since this was about 150 yards on up the road from the first siting. Most likely the same bird but there's the possibility that 2 using the area.
