[cobirds] Re: Broad-tailed Hummingbird continues at Ken Caryl Valley, Jefferson Co

An update. Feeder owner Sally Cuffin reports:

"She spent a lot of time at my feeders early Saturday morning [Nov 14] - but she didn't come back for her typical evening feeding. Didn't see her at all Sunday [Nov 15] and there was no sign of her this morning [Nov 16]."

So maybe this bird departed the area before the current storm came in.

The late female Broad-tailed Hummingbird continues to visit yards in the Ken Caryl Valley, Jefferson Co., persisting through the storm bringing 6 inches of snow on Nov 11, and seen on Nov 12 by feeder owner Sally Cuffin, and by she and I on Nov 13. Some photos are with this eBird checklist:

On another note, I visited Ketring Lake in Littleton, Arapahoe Co yesterday Nov 13. Only a small number of waterfowl (but 2 Hooded Mergansers). I was surprised to hear one Virginia Rail grunting in the flooded sedge/cattail marsh beside the north side of the lake...surprised mostly because I generally detect no birds in that marsh patch.
