After our male Broad-tailed Hummingbird (nicknamed Kotter) failed to show in late May this year – as he had the past two years where he roosted every night from late May until late August in our backyard – we gave up looking for him.
However, last night, there was a male broad-tailed sitting in the same exact spot that Kotter had the previous two years. My assumption, with so very many spots that a hummingbird can roost around my home, is that this is the same hummingbird. This is a very specific spot on one of dozens of branches, in one of a hundred+ trees around my home. Still – can’t say for sure. But I will check again tonight.
It is quite possible he has been there since mid-June, as we really gave up checking around the second week in June.
fyi
