lucky you with two species - you might get callipe too?

P.S. For anybody who just gets that "occasional" hummer....just keep with the clean feeders and they will come. I was told that if one is happy he will bring his brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles!!!!!! Now I believe this IS TRUE!

catwhiskas,
What part of Denver do you live in? I live in Arvada and haven't seen any yet.
thanks!

Hi popmama, I am in east Denver. I have been here about 10 years and this is the first year I have attracted hummingbirds to my yard. We just moved but only a few blocks from where we previously were living. Our last yard was small with many flowers - No hummers. It might've been due to the fact we were on a corner and it was a more noisy location.

We now are on a VERY quiet block, we have a larger yard...much more lush with many trees and bushes, we don't have any flowers planted yet this year as we are still settling in, but we do have 3 feeders. In the past 2 weeks my hummers have increased in number from 1 to approx. 6 or more!!

Just keep your feeders out and make sure they are cleaned every 2 days in this intense heat we are getting - don't give up - they will come!

I know what you mean Catwhiskas. Congratulations on your hummers.

How exciting for you! catwhiskas, I really like what you wrote about telling all their relatives. Bring on the family reunion!
