RE: [cobirds] Re: Hummingbirds?

All,

In the Jeopardy category of "True Confessions" for $1000, I will admit to being temporarily duped into thinking I heard an out-of-season male broadtail (more than once) by distant vehicles with ailing fan belts.

Possibly, a flock of Cedar Waxwings flying by might sound "Hummingbird-ish"?

Hey, Colorado Birders,

 

I have a colleague who swears she heard hummingbirds passing over her yard in Firestone yesterday (2/4/26).

 

Have there been any sightings of hummers? I'm wracking my brain to guess what she might have heard that she could confuse with a Broad-Tail, say.

 

Thanks!
