Yesterday(9-20-15)an immature female Costa's Hummingbird made 2 brief
appearances at my feeder in Rye, SW Pueblo County,
130-145PM.
Calliopes are also present but the Costas was distinguished by its dark eyeline
thru lores contrasting with white supercilium, & solid white unmarked throat.
Calliopes have pale lores & variable streaked markings on throat. Like
Calliopes undertail coverts practically bisected its very short tail; there was
some buff in the rear underparts of bird also suggesting Calliope, but the buff
is not uncommonly found on immature female Costas.
Other area birds of interest;
2 Chihuahuan Ravens 9-19-15 Obie's BBQ, NE corner of jct I-25/Hwy 165 no doubt
attracted by tasty bbq ribs.
1 Townsend's Warbler 9-19-15 Rye Mountain Park
1 Great-tailed Grackle 9-19-15 various locations at jct. I-25 & Hwy 165
Numerous Red Crossbills 9-19-15 Rye Mountain Park & also on Old San Isabel Rd
near its jct with Table Mountain Rd, Rye.
