[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
Have been out of town a few days, but this morning I had a male black-chinned hummer coming to my feeders, not a ‘regular’ yard bird for me at all at my home near Horsetooth Mountain Park. Also back, Orioles and BH Grosbeaks in my yard, among the numerous lazuli buntings and other already reported arrivals. Love spring!

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!

Just had a male black-chinned at my feeder. Seems like this is becoming a more regular/annual event although in past years they have not stayed to breed in the vicinity (although it appears they do about a mile away at a neighbors place). Black-headed grosbeak, bullocks oriole and lazuli bunting are now back in force. Have three LAZB at my feeder tray right now.

On this blustery day we just had a male black-chinned at our hummingbird feeder. Don't have any records for 2012 or 2013, but in 2011 we noted a FOS bird on May 7. Stay warm!

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.

I had a male black-chinned hummingbird at my feeder this afternoon. A new yard bird, but on my expected list. Also over the weekend, lazuli buntings have been common, with 3-4 birds visiting the feeders at once. Among them was a nice Indigo x Lazuli hybrid, a mostly blue bird (chest, head, back), with no reddish-brown on the chest, just a pure white belly and white wing bars. Some migrants, like western tanager and Bullock's oriole still passing through. Other new arrivals since middle of last week: black-headed grosbeak, yellow-breasted chat, lark sparrow, western kingbird, all of which breed locally.
