Hello,
I’m curious if anyone has responded with their thoughts on this little hummer?

I’m attaching a photo of an immature/female hummingbird that my husband took on August 1, 2021 in our yard in Emmett. I thought it was a Calliope, but it seems like the tail barely extends beyond the wings, which would indicate Rufous. This picture is on our 2022 calendar that we give to friends and family, so I want to make sure I have an accurate ID.
Thanks.

Nice finds, Alan. The foot on that Prairie looks like he’s thinking about Sage Grouse.

Do you have a list for you Valley County early winter field trip? I’d be interested in seeing it.

Re: COHA display
Wow, Louisa, hadn’t thought of that. The one on the left flew up onto a low branch and was still there when we turned around and saw it again, thinking it was an injured mate – but it took off long and low, fast, so yeah, protecting a kill.
And I watched a sharpie at K Albertson the other day – what a rich venue for them there.

Re: COHA display
The one with its back to you may be mantling to protect a bird it caught. Saw a sharpie do that recently in Kathryn Albertson Park after nabbing a cedar waxwing. Maybe they both went after some and landed in the road as part of the attack?

Found these two in the middle of the road on Locust Rd here in Emmett, Gem Cty, at intersection of Sharp Lane (ha.) Never seen this before. I was able to snap a few photos before shooing them off as traffic was bearing down on the pair. Any behavioral feedback on this?

Thanks Ken, I’m sure that would be a good place for it but don’t use FB.
