I had a female Rufous Hummingbird at my feeder yesterday afternoon. I was not fast enough for a photo, but am watching for it to come back. Got good looks through the bins. On Bear Mt in Evergreen, they didn’t arrive until July 4. She was exactly like all the females I got every year up there with a big orange/copper blotch only in the middle of the throat. I think I read on COBirds that someone had a male rufous a couple weeks ago in NE CO. The birds are probably messed up by the crazy weather. Lots of broad-tailed and black-chinneds at feeders and Lesser and American Goldfinches at thistle feeders.
