I've had at least one male broad-tailed hummingbird visiting my feeders since April 14. Yesterday I had at least three individuals here, including a female, at one time.
Other new arrivals and happenings in the neighborhood include rock wrens and vesper sparrows yesterday at Bobcat ridge open space, and lesser goldfinch, white-throated swift, peregrine falcon, a lone pair of mountain bluebirds and a territorial Cooper's hawk at Horsetooth Mountain Park. Here in my yard in Hotsetooth Lake Estates, Cassin's Finch have suddenly become one of the more numerous birds, with at least 8 individuals here yesterday. Pine siskins have also made a surprise return with a pair seen at the feeders after the snowstorm and a few odd individuals at HMP over the past 2 weeks. Spotted towhees have been trickling in over the past 3 weeks or more, yet only a few of the historic territories have been occupied so far. Also, a few Myrtle warblers stopped in the yard today. What a great time of year with new gifts showing up each day. Good birding, Arvind Panjabi West of Fort Colljns 5700' Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
