Black-chinned hummingbird (?)

"Broad-tailed Hummingbird. Black-chinned doesn't have the rufous on the flanks and it has a gray head instead of a green head."

"Gary - Did a Google search on "Bushtits" and checked out the photos and there seems to be a wide variety of color for this species... From gray(ish) to brown(ish)."

At 9:35am on April 11, 2010, Donna Dannen said…: I've heard this often and it really makes me feel good to think I've helped get people started on the trail. I'm enjoying exploring all the Colorado mountains now that I live in Evergreen. Before all I knew was Rocky and Indian Peaks. I still love them best, though. I'm still slowly adding 14ers. The different element down here is the mining piece. It's not wilderness, but wilderness is once again taking over. It's certainly interesting. And I'm in love with mountain goats, non-native, or not. I spend at least a day weekly in the summer on Mt. Evans with the goats and ptarmigan. Two weeks ago I snowshoed up Guanella Pass to photograph winter-white ptarmigan. This year you have to trek to get to them due to road closures on Guanella. What a great experience! 'Got some great pics as well. I'm missing the spring lek (grouse and prairie chicken) activity this spring due to upcoming foot surgery. I want to keep hiking and old injuries have made it tough. Hopefully this will help. But I hated missing the leks. Great hearing from folks still in Estes Park!

At 9:43am on April 13, 2010, DaveA Birding said…: I saw one of those two as well, but was rushing at that point and didn't want to disturb the family eating dinner directly below the owl.

At 11:27am on April 13, 2010, DaveA Birding said…: Really Good! Those wide open eyes are great.

At 11:55am on April 13, 2010, Pat Gaines said…: Hi Mike and Susan,

Thanks for sending the link to your pics from yesterday. They turned out great! It will be fun watching the owls fledge this Spring. Hopefully I'll catch you guys out there again. I'll let you know when I'm planning to head out there next week so you can meet me and take a few more pics with the big lens if you want to.

Take care and happy birding!
- Pat

Can you point me to the right parts of the park?
