Daughter said this was a LadyBug larva. I looked it up and she was correct.

A group of Band-tailed Pigeons visited the tray feeder at the cabin today. Band-tailed Pigeons are a Colorado native that live in mountains and generally breeds in the Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir forest. Here they have moved up into the Englemann Spruce and Subalpine Fir at 8500'. They are not often seen in the flatlands. Nice birds, shy and somewhat skittish. Their primary predators are Goshawk and Cooper's Hawk.

We've invited this fellow to join us for dinner along with elk steak and boletus edulus mushrooms from the yard.

^^ That looks like a smaller version of one that was staring at me from under our rock steps all day today. I was working out back...he'd poke his head out and then disappear every time I got close.
That's a nice looking trout, Hummer.
Cool thread!
The male Hairy Woodpecker has found our hummingbird feeders again. They've become adept at popping the yellow flowers off to open the port so they can get their tongue into the sugar water. It's kind of comical, woodpeckers are cool characters.
Other birds besides hummers that will take sugar water include Downy Woodpecker, Red-naped Sapsucker, Western Tanager, Chickadees and more....

Why do most hummingbird feeders have a landing spot? I've never seen a hummingbird land to feed from flowers.
Awesome thread! I'll add some pics soon!
I have seen them land to rest but never feed while sitting.Quote:
