Notes

Description

The handwritten annotation on the nitrate negative sleeve lists the location as "Palm Canyon Borrego Valley." Based on the referene to Borrego Valley, the location is more than likely the Borrego Palm Canyon trail located in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. However, the location could possibly be the Palm Canyon located in the Agua Caliente Indian Canyons.
Anna's Hummingbird, also know as Calypte anna, is a hummingbird native to the western coast of North America, from southern Canada to northern Baja California.
