Costa's hummingbird still at 2217 Tuscany Ave. in Grand Junction as of 10:45 A.M. this morning.

Twanna Cooksey has a wonderful feeder setup in her back yard with various types of feeders and heated bird baths. Lots to look at while you wait. She indicated the Costa's hummer appears early in the morning between 7 and 8:30, then as the sun comes up and things warm up, the bird appears less frequently (probably is able to catch insects as the weather has been warm enough during the day here in GJ). As indicated earlier by others, the best place to observe is under the patio back against the wall near the back door.
