As Brandon has already noted, conditions today could be great for migration. It is the right time of year, and the wind conditions are right.

The green circle on this image is approximately Boulder. You can see all the winds funneling into the Front Range likely forcing some birds with it.

Get out birding if you can. You will be rewarded.

It does seem that the Hummingbird Highway got routed here overnight. Instead of 2-3 hummers at our two feeders, we have more than 10, far exceeding any previous count. Possibly a couple black- chins in the mix.
