Please disregard my query.The date stamps on these photos indicate that they were taken in Northern California, not
Colorado. This bird is likely an Anna's Hummingbird, not a regular Boulder species. I seem to have accidentally
deleted the photos of the suspected Calliope that I took in Boulder. My sincere apologies for the confusion.Richard

wrote:Are the attached photos of an immature female Calliope Hummingbird? They were taken August 1st at the Boulder
Community Gardens in north-central Boulder. The bird was noticeably very much smaller than the many Broad-taileds. It
seemed closer in size to a large bee than to an adult Broad-tailed.My hesitancy: Sibley shows immature Calliopes as
having a thin white strip above the gape, which this bird doesn't show. The overall size was very tiny and the tail
is shorter than the folder wings. Could this just be a slow-growing, small Broad-tailed with a short tail?
Thanks,Richard
