I have several hummingbirds this year…of course I’m having trouble getting photos of them, maybe I’ll make it.
So far we have regular visitors of the Black-chinned Hummers and the Ruby Throat two pairs of each. I’ve also seen an Rufous, and an Anna’s pair, they are not here regularly, or at least when I’m outside I haven’t seen them regularly.
The types which are in Colorado are:
Broad-tailed, Rufous, Black-chinned, Calliope, Blue-throated,Magnificent, Anna’s, Ruby-throated, Broad-billed, White-eared, Green Violet-ear.
I sure hope I can see some of the others, maybe not at my feeders but around.
Then to get a photo…a good photo…MY Goal for the year!
Have a restful Sunday everyone! We are off to watch grandchildren play soccer for the last time. Summer break starts soon for the grand kids!

I wish you every success in your goal. Hummers are hard, but rewarding. Such cool birds. I wish we had as many species as you folks do. I have never even seen any kind except ruby-throated. Only very, very rarely does any other sort come to our area.

Never have many hummers here but lots of other things. Little yellow warblers showed up yesterday and something I haven’t identified yet.
It’s just raining like nuts here. I’m wet, Gus is wet, everyone is wet, and MUDDY. I’m loving it!
Hope you had a nice soccer day!

I think you’re fortunate to have so many different hummingbird species around even if you don’t get a good picture. But of course a good picture would be great. Enjoy your Sunday.

You’re getting returning birds and a lot of our winter birds are going back up to the mountains for the summer. I will miss them.

My Mom always captures hummers on her feeders. I never see hummers here. 😦 They are neat little creatures. She sent me this link. Very interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=EUEZkwJulBY Hand feeding hummers.

Maybe if you hang a hummingbird feeder just outside a window you could snap a picture from within. They are a neat little creature– God loves variety doesn’t he. Hope you get your ‘goal’ ! Thanks for posting, always interesting.

I used to be so thrilled just to SEE birds…and now I have to work not to be disappointed if I don’t get a picture. I think I liked myself better before! Didn’t realize so many hummers called Colorado home!
