We don't get Ruby Throats here, but we have Annas that are larger all year. The Rufous, Allens, and Black Chinned migrate through in the summer.The Black Chinned have a cool purple throat and are the smallest. (Not my picture)

Awesome! I went to HS in Golden and Lakewood. Skied (Winter Park/Mary Jane) and skated (Boulder) my ass off in 78-79.

I had some pineapple strawberries in my Jack Daniel's half barrels. They loved shade only. I had to ignore the garden for a few years and lost them

Would you know what the copper colored ones would be in my area? Really loud propellers (wings). More rare haven't seen yet at this location. Also if you remember I think the raptors I posted last year were ferringis (sp?) hawks.

I'd guess Rufous or Allens.

I'd guess Rufous or Allens.

I think rufous sounds right/familiar.

Nice yard!

I love it but watching you and @raratt and @Bareback @Mohican and others gardening for 2 months already is torture.

 

[SSGrower]

On the plus side no rats.

Field mice, voles, snakes and pair of nesting hawks.

Rufous, or Allens, hard to tell them apart. Pic from animalspot.net.


Here is a hawk page, I don't remember the pic, go figure. https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/ferruginous-hawk

I cleaned and refilled the hummingbird feeders after the mention of them here, thanks for reminding me. They were nasty.

All this talk about hummers reminds me it’s been to long Damn quarantine
