Folks- I was awakened from a light afternoon backyard siesta yesterday by hummingbird chip notes. Without bins, camera, or glasses all I could ascertain was that the bird appeared to lack warm flank coloration and seemed to be short billed. I retrieved my optics and got pics of what proved to be an immature female Anna's Hummingbird at ca. 16:30 ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/9047968@N02). Despite surveilling my agastache flowers and hummingbird feeder until sunset the bird was not re-seen yesterday. However, one last glance before I left for work this morning at quarter-to-eight rewarded me with a look at the hummer hanging out on a perch above the hummingbird-friendly flowers.
Hummingbird fans are welcome- head over to 3381 Larkspur Dr. in Longmont. Please don't block any driveways- you can park on the inside of the loop cul-de-sac or down the block a bit. The gate (left of the garage as you walk up the driveway) is open- I'd suggest a slow approach past the veggie garden as the flowers it likes and feeder will be at the end of the path on your left. Feel free to grab a seat up on the patio or even better, try the hammock chair where I was snoozing when Ms. Anna first woke me up. If you do visit please email me when you were there and the results of your attempt. Good luck, & Best- Bill Schmoker, Longmont -- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ | Bill Schmoker | | bill.schmo...@gmail.com | | http://schmoker.org | | http://brdpics.blogspot.com | \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
