Thanks for all the hummingbird reports. Since Bill is on my side of state, I was interested in reading his observations & that his hummers were late. I was in Post Falls in June & family up there had 3 feeders out with Calliopes visiting all day & no others. Best views I’ve ever had of males displaying their gorget feathers within 4 ft of me. At one point, I watched about a dozen Calliopes visiting feeders at the same time with quite a bit of male bravado going on by a bird weighing less than 2 pennies!

Unless someone else has, I’ve never seen Anna’s in SE ID. I should get more observations in the next few days & can see if the Rufous have headed off. Curious, so would the Rufous appearing now be migrating back south, having already nested, at this point? Or, are they arriving late & just headed to breeding grounds?
