Steve, Up here in Woodland Park, on the opposite side of the WC Fire, we had our first Rufous Hummer on July 1. Last year they appeared on July 7. Best wishes Dave

Subject: [cobirds] Rufous Hummingbirds Colo Spgs Hi COBirders, The Rufous Hummers have returned again to our yard in Colorado Springs (Mountain Shadows). They are a week later than usual, but I had a male and two females appear today, 7/10. It will be interesting to see if we have higher numbers this year, with the loss of so many regular feeders just up the hill, where whole streets of homes were lost. There were a lot of feeders up there too, just across the street from the foothills oaks. Or, alternately, will they just move on?
