I could watch those birds all day.

The local mountain Broad-tailed and lowland Black-chinned Hummingbirds are abundant but the migrant Rufous and Calliope Hummingbirds are very scarce this year. I just returned from banding 217 birds in Sedona, mostly Black-chinned and Anna's, a few Rufous and only one Broad-tailed. No Calliope or Costa's this year but I did see a Rivoli's (Magnificent) Hummingbird. It's a strange year....
