[cobirds] Hummingbirds - Douglas County

I spent some time today studying the hummingbirds around my yard, of which there are many! It appears they all survived last night's torrential rains & hail in fine shape (unlike some of my vegetable garden). It's hard to know how many there are of the various species, but there are at least a

[cobirds] Red-Throated Loon still at Marston

After two hours of searching my mother Debby & Ijust re-found the Red-Throated Loon. He is at the very south end of the lake, the best (and only) view we got of him was from Layton Way where it dead ends at the bird sanctuary. Jessi Oberbeck Northglenn, CO --~--~-~--~~

Just wanted to chime in regarding hummingbirds. I've had broad-tails for quite some time, but on Saturday morning had both a rufous and a calliope (both male) show up. They've all been back every morning and every evening too. I just love watching the little guys! Christine A. Bucher Colorado S
