I stayed on this property, so birded it often -- I've combined them all into one post. This property is fairly level and walkable. Don't think a wheelchair would do well. There are plenty of places to sit and watch.
This is the Garden
The first afternoon/evening --
Anna's Hummingbird
Broad-tailed Hummingbird
Lucifer Hummingbird
Lesser Goldfinch with Bee
Elf Owl
also had a Western Screech-Owl land in the Garden.
Had sessions in the Garden in the morning and afternoon the next day...
A great variety of Hummingbirds
Anna's Hummingbird
Black-chinned Hummingbird
Broad-billed Hummingbird
Broad-tailed Hummingbird

And the other characters
