Broad-billed hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris)

This broad-billed hummingbird is a rare bird for Central Texas. First sighted on October 10, this bird is a continuing resident in my backyard. Freezing temperatures last night, and he was up and at 'em this morning at the feeders. He perched in the sun for warmth most of the day.
