Aha! I spotted them. The one near the attic vent is a male Black-chinned, the other one may be too. You should have Costa's and Anna's there, too.

Good eye, and thanks for the info, I know nothing about them, but we really enjoy watching them, we have lots that hang out, they are very playful.

Oh, you have Broad-billed Hummingbirds there too, the most beautiful hummingbird in North America. I've banded hummers all around AZ, including Tucson.

Last fall, I banded the 4th CO record Broad-billed here in Palisade. Also, the 1st CO record Broad-billed in 2002. Very rare here, rare in northern AZ, common in Tucson.

That little guy (or girl) is beautiful, I'm going to have to pay closer attention to them now. Now I know what your screen name is about, unless you also own a Hummer lol.

He's a juvenile male.

Wanted a Hummer. Never bought one. Good thing.

Nice to see tucson is getting rain. I washed to vehicles this week and all we got was maybe 15 min of rain.


Be curious to see if you notice a lot of hbird activity. It seems this year Every hb has a few offspring, lots of activity around the feeders, more so than the last 2 years. . We've had them get real close to us, while sitting on the back patio.

Feed them and they will come, GK. Clean and fresh is key. I catch and band hummers in Sedona every summer but not this year due to Covid. Have wanted to visit but am always squeezed for time.

Hummer, can you post some pics or link to site for commonly seen in Colorado?

I have enjoyed watching them my whole life but could not identify a single one.

[buffalobo]

Very envious of your experience being able to interact and examine them closely. Unique creatures.

Had a start and a smile recently while floating on my skeeter when a very shimmery green humming bird paused a moment to inspect a lure I had just attached to my line and prepared to cast.

I just aerated the lawn while raining.
