Hummingbirds in Douglas County

[Cindy and Dennis]

Noticing the posts on Hummingbirds, since early last week this has been the year with the greatest number of hummingbirds we have ever had except no Black-chinned yet.  We have broad-tailed all summer; two weeks ago we started seeing calliope.  Now we have numerous Rufus, mostly males but some females and/or juveniles.   This morning, I saw one feeder had Rufus-male & female; male & female Calliope; and male & female Broadtails all fighting over a few slots.
