[cobirds] Calliope Hummingbird, Louisville, CO

I have an adult female or juvenile Calliope Hummingbird feeding in my crabapple tree this morning. It is chasing the House Finches away from the tree!

Below is a picture that shows that her wingtips are just slightly longer than her tail:


This px shows the whole bird, but it's difficult to compare the wing and tail lengths:


I had several young hummers show up yesterday afternoon.  They didn't seem to know what a hummingbird feeder is.  Luckily, I have lots of flowers blooming that they can feed on.
