It took me six years, but through a mix of intentional plantings and self-seedings of native wildflowers, I've had daily -- almost day long -- visits from at least one male and at least one female Broad-tailed Hummingbird in my Centennial yard (approx. 5,800 feet). While this "achievement," if we can call it that, won't surprise anyone, owing to the commonness of Broad-tails and the ease of attracting them with sugar-water, it's quite exciting for me. I don't think that they're nesting in my yard; the visits seem more for food and the two eventually fly off. I quite like hearing the male's trill. Now and then, he must chase off another male -- because the sound gets much more intense than when he's displaying otherwise.
