Re: [cobirds] 1st Hummingbird Sighting this season! 4/25/20- Broad Tail, in Conifer, CO

So neat to hear Wayne! It's usually the flutter of their wings I hear before seeing them - they can be so fast.  Never too late to start and learn many things desired. That's a beautiful trail I've run on too and it seems that the larger and shady cottonwood? and various other trees lining the path (thinking closer to the South Suburban rec center) provide a most welcoming area for the birds to rest and nest too.  Enjoy!!

Also heard my first one along the Highline Canal near milepost 1 while on a run.  Runners such as Carol and I can also see and hear birds but sometimes difficult to start in part at age 78, I'm afraid I won't be able to get started.  Also lots of towhees and a few other common birds.  I think this is in Arapaho County but not absolutely sure.

1st Hummingbird sighting this season! 4/25/20- Broad Tail, in Conifer, CO, on the north-facing feeder.  We've had bugs come around more and even a butterfly (monarch appearance but need to consult our guides) a couple weeks back.  On an early morning run today felt no more cold "bite" in the air and coincidentally spotted our first hummer - Spring may be getting into full swing now with even a hint of Summer..
