I was walking out the front door to go to a meeting tonight and a hummer was in my patch of coral bells that are next to my front walkway. Of course, she took off and I only got to see her backside. Not enough for a species ID, but given what I saw, it was either a female Calliope or female Black-chinned. We also get Rufous, but I didn't see any rufous in the tail (which is very evident) when it flew away, only well defined white tail spots. Based on the size, I may have to go with Black-chinned. Guess I will have to look out the front door from now on before I go out!
