[cobirds] Black-chinned hummingbird - Larimer County
Looks like the hummers are preparing for some cold night temps coming up - lots of action at our 3 feeders. I just got a very close and clear view of a male FOS black-chinned hummingbird at our feeder. We were pretty sure we saw a female the other day, but now we're more sure. They have really short beaks compared to the broad tails so seeing this one up close was exciting. We had our FOS black-chinned on 5/15 last year, and in 2018 it was 5/8. The other beautiful sighting was a lazuli bunting yesterday just after the rains with a double rainbow behind it, but of course it was gone by the time I got my phone to get a picture. Bullock's orioles arrived on 5/1 and western kingbirds middle of April so it's pretty noisy around here lately. Plus that darn robin that sings all morning, right outside our bedroom window, from 5:15 to 7 am!

[cobirds] Black-chinned hummingbird Larimer County
Hi all, We had our first black-chinned hummingbird (male) at our feeder this morning. Previous FOY: 2014: April 27 2011: 5/7 2009: 5/3 (obviously we haven't been as diligent recording these guys!) Bullock's orioles showed up on scheduleon 5/3 as did Lazuli bunting (5/3), poorwills and barn swallows (5/4). Our friendly bats returned to our house eaves en masse on 5/4 as well. Just hope they don't find their way INTO the house again this year!

I didn't spot this one, but a friend of mine saw a Black-chinned Hummingbird at Devil's Backbone Open Space in Loveland. Don't have details of specifically where in the park. I also was at Pineridge Natural Area (Dixon Reservoir) a couple days ago and the male Black-chinned Hummingbird is still hanging out on the dead tree.
