We just had a female Calliope Hummingbird come to our flowering pots on our
back porch. Quite aggressive. Came right up to my nose and began buzzing around

Hi birders,
I was standing outside talking to my son when a hummer came to the feeder.
I looked up briefly expecting to see one of the pair of Black-chinned that
have nested in a big Maple the last 4 years and instead realized it was an
early Calliope. I did take some rather poor photos which I

We have 1 male and 1 juv Calliope at the backyard feeders this morning.
New yard bird! I think that makes 69. The feeder is right near an active
Wren house, so there have been skirmishes.

A male Calliope Hummingbird visited one of our feeders this morning.
And for a stark contrast in size, yesterday afternoon a Wild Turkey hen
spent a few hours on our deck, adjacent to the hummingbird feeder.

My husband and I have a competition where one tries to find the first Rufous
Hummingbird of the year before the other person does. This year, we both lost.
The Calliope Hummingbird came through first. It has been coming to our
feeders this morning on the west side of Colorado Springs.
Had an unexpected spring Calliope (male) at our feeders yesterday evening.

We had a beautiful male Calliope Hummingbird visit our feeder (which I just put out yesterday) early this morning. His gorget was really striking. According to eBird, this is an unusual sighting. He has not returned. We had many of them last fall on a previous stay here in Estes Park. Our place is

A male Calliope Hummingbird visited my feeder today. My Castle Rock yard has
been a great place for this species over the past 6 years, beginning each year
around the 10th of July. Males seem to peak toward the end of the month with
females and juvis showing up around the first of August
