My yard is open fo viewing Hummingbirds in the morning, [only]. from now until, Sept 15,2009. I'm having morning viewing from sunrise to noon, because I'm having classes during the evening. I'm sure I can accommodate some individuals who can only view early evening. [call me at 303-794-2647, there is no message on my phone] I had one early, early, ad. m. Calliope from 7/6-10.[ Calliopes in the past, have not come to my yd. until around 7/15-17]. On 7/10 another ad. m. Calliope arrived, then 1, ad. m. Calliope came on 7/13. No more ad. m. Calliopes came to my yd., until 1 showed up today, 7/19. One ad. f. Calliope has been here 7/17-19. If you want to observe or hopefully see an ad. m. Calliope, I suggest you come to my yard NOW through, 7/25. Ad. male hummingbirds, and ad. female hummingbirds arrive first, followed by immatures. I get Broad-tailed, Rufous, Calliope and Black-chinned in my yd. Adult male Calliope is common from 7/17-7/28. When I say common, I do not have the large numbers of hummingbirds, which are found in the foothills. But, for some reason I do get Calliopes quite regularly, during their migration time. Immatures will still be coming through till Sept. 5. Black-chinned is not common, but I do get ad. and imm. males & females. Ruby-throated Hummingbird is the most unlikely, but I get one about every other year. Hummingbird activity is best early morning. Remember my yard is not like the Fawnbrook Inn which gets 100's of hummers. One is able to get good Identification looks, since I have hummingbirds in smaller quantities. My yard is in Jefferson county. If you see a hummingbird fly west into the Denver Water Department this is Denver county. to call PLEASE CALL ME and leave me a message as to when and what time you may want to come to my yard. I need to give my gardener some warning. CALL, 303-794-2647. There are 2 chairs in the back yard, and 2 in the front yd. Two feeders are in the back and one is in the front. PLEASE, sit in chairs or stand quietly next to the chairs. DO NOT WALK around the yd. There are baby chicks running around. You will see more just sitting or standing quietly in one place! When you walk into the patio [which is next to and just east of the garage], there is a register in a ziplock baggie. Please sign the register and zip the baggie back up, so the register does not get wet. DIRECTIONS : Get to w. Hampden[same highway as 285], and exit at the Sheridan exit. Go SOUTH on S. Sheridan, and pass soon, FT. Logan Cemetary on the east side of S. Sheridan. Continue south on S. Sheridan, after passing Ft. Logan Cemetary, and the first stoplight you come to is W. Quincy and S.

Take a right at the stopsign onto SUNSET. Go west on Sunset. Go west about one mile on Sunset, until you come to your second stopsign. At this stopsign take a right onto Bow Mar Dr. The first driveway on your right after this stopsign is 4400 Bow Mar Dr. which is my address. The number is on the mailbox. Please park on the WEST side on Bow Mar Dr[half under the cottonwood tree and half on the road.
