I think we got ALL of Everybodys rain and we are still getting it, but, ya know what? It’s not hot! It hasn’t been much over 80 here at my house today.

Spectacular pictures. I get the Black-Chinned and have taken a few shots(with my camera) but they’re always out of focus as they are such busy bodies...zipping here and there, you know.

Anything but ruby-throats are so rare in my area (NC) that if word gets out of a Rufous or others, birders drive for hundreds of miles for a peek.

This year seems to be skimpy as far as hummers around here.
Don’t know if there was ill winds when they were crossing the Gulf or what, but they are scarce this year.

BTW, all those photos were in Colo. and vicinity.
