[cobirds] Custer County hummers

COBirders,

   While at our cabin--9,200 ft. in NW Custer County--on Monday and Tuesday we had a few visits by one or two male Broad-tails.  When the first visitor came by checking last year's feeding stations I quickly put out a liquid meal for him.  When we had to retire the feeder before leaving yesterday evening we were sad to think of the snowstorm that awaited these scouts.

   Today I received an email with photo from a Custer County resident showing a female hummer feeding from a bright red feeder in the falling snow.  It was good to see someone else was helping out and I was surprised to learn that at least one female has followed so closely behind the male scouts.
