Here's a few more images from where we're still feeding more than 8000 hummingbirds daily. While southbound migrant Calliope Hummingbird numbers have been lower than expected this year east of the Continental Divide, we watched an immature male Calliope jockeying for a spot at the feeder.
The Calliope Hummingbird is the smallest bird in the U.S. and Canada, breeding in the mountains west from the Yellowstone area. They are like a miniature version of the Broad-tailed Hummingbird but about an inch shorter in total length and the adult males have a streaked magenta gorget. Calliopes generally weigh 2.1-3.2 grams compared to Broad-tailed at 3.4-4.5 grams. Calliopes are in the same genus as Broad-tailed, Rufous and Allen's, and they share characteristics.
Compare this picture of the Broad-tailed on the left to the Calliope on the right. The Calliope has a very short bill and a very short tail that is shorter than the folded wings when it's perched. Notice that the Broad-tailed has a tail that extends beyond the folded wing.
Calliopes also have a somewhat pot-bellied appearance. Check out this adult male.

Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.
My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
