We went to Dixon Reservoir (Pineridge natural area in Fort Collins, which is finally open) earlyish this morning (8 AM) and spotted the black-chinned hummingbird at the top of a dead tree just east of the trail in the grove of trees in the northwest corner of the reservoir. He was cooperative and perched there for quite a while, occasionally flying out to catch something. After birding and walking for a while, We came back to see that he was still on the same dead tree (about 11 AM). There were also 2 beautiful male Bullock's orioles working a big cottonwood tree on the left just as the trail goes along before the dam and takes a right turn at the dam, going east. Other spring arrivals were seen as well.
