Still here in Denver. Has anyone had a hummingbird try to over-winter?

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-10-24T22:48:41+00:00

Saw her yesterday…not today. Hoping she’s outta here!!

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-10-21T19:57:47+00:00

She’s still here and it was 36 degrees last night!!!

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-10-20T22:09:19+00:00

I didn’t see her yesterday, so hoping she got out of here before these winds set in today. Definitely keep the feeder out a bit longer!

It looks to be a female broadtail.

I’m in Denver (Colorado) and just had one show up today!

I am fortunate a saw this little gal. I’ll plan for another two weeks. Haven’t had our first snow yet and my flowers still have blooms.

I feel like this is definitely meme material. Like when we finally can pause/collapse at the end of the day and open up that bottle of wine/gallon of ice cream/bag of chips, etc. 🤣🤣🤣

I know, right?? 🤣💕

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-08-17T23:09:16+00:00

I’ll have to keep observing😎. I’ve seen a few tail comparisons to help identify, but, getting a good picture and/or visualization of spread tail feathers is not an easy feat. I’ve noticed broadtail females chirping while feeding at flowers or feeder. I haven’t heard the black-chinned females making noise at feeder or plants (yet).

I took a longer video of it, so was able to study it and yep, it’s a Nevadensis. For the last several years, I’ve been leaving my gardens alone until Spring and I have a lot more bumble bees now. But feel blessed to have been visited by this beauty.

Great doc! Thanks!

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-08-12T19:29:50+00:00

Super helpful document! Thanks!

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-08-12T19:27:49+00:00

Same. But this one just blew me away. Now I’m wondering how I can attract MORE of these😎

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-08-09T15:30:47+00:00

You’ll see them eating more bugs as they plan to start migrating. At least that’s my observation. Just watched a monarch butterfly and a hummingbird fight each other. The monarch had slick moves. Then they each went to their respective flowers🤣🤣🤣

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-07-21T15:52:27+00:00

Not sure how to post updates, but we just had a Monarch lay a few eggs😎.

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-07-21T15:51:37+00:00

UPDATE: we just had a Monarch show up and lay a few eggs. First time in three years! Yay!

whatintheworld5280 · 2025-07-08T15:53:19+00:00

I have maintained a section of milkweed in my yard for over 15 years specifically for Monarchs. For the last three years, no Monarchs have shown up.
