Yesterday and this morning there were reports of new hummingbirds in the area - Black-chinned and Calliope. Instead of heading out on a brief jaunt looking for birds I decided to stay at home and keep a close watch on the hummingbird feeders.
While there was a good level of activity I did not see either of the target birds. There were a couple White-throated Sparrows around - getting to be a bit late in the year for these. I did take out the scope and get some photos of the birds that were around.
I got myself invited over to the house where a Black-chinned and a Calliope Hummingbird had been seen. (Thanks Jenny!) This is the same spot I saw this year's Costa's Hummingbird (Day 39). The Calliope was a no show, but we did see a male Black-chinned Hummingbird. Bird #201 for the year! It was not camera-cooperative, but I include a previous photo of a Black-chinned Hummingbird for your viewing pleasure.
Some photos from the yard today:
