Three of us made our obligatory annual pilgrimage to Brockman’s hummingbird
feeding station (Twin Falls County, South Hills, along FR 500) last Friday,
25 August, and estimated there were still 200+ hummers there, of four
species, in this decreasing order of abundance: BC, RU, BT, and CA.
At our humfeeders here in west Boise we still have 3-4 juvie BC this
morning, and our last observed dates are (so far this season): CA 25 Aug,
RU 27 Aug, and adult male BC 28 Aug. The Ada County eBird bar charts
suggest we could continue seeing these three sp through the end of
September, but we rarely do. During the last two years, Anna’s began
showing up at our salvias in mid-Sept. =)
