[cobirds] hummingbirds at feeders, Centennial, Arapahoe

Ira lives in the foothills near/(in?) Golden, Tina on the east/northeast
side of Marston reservoir. But I am distinctly further out on the plains in
Centennial, near Orchard and Colorado Blvd. So my feeder today had the four
expected species of hummingbirds...calliope (one yesterday, another two
today), rufous, broad-tailed, and black-chinned. Never as many as Tina's
numbers, but feeding times correspond...many for a brief visit as the sun is
up, intermittent visits during the day, many more visits from about two
hours until 45 minutes before sunset.
A great proportion of the black-chinneds are imm males.
