About 15 minutes ago at 3:15pm, I was very excited to see a gorgeous male
Calliope Hummingbird feeding in a large lilac bush in my yard near Bonney
Lake. There were two female Rufous in the same bush, and at one time the
Calliope got mad at one of them and did a display flight (broad U shaped
dive, with zinging at bottom) several times. After that it disappeared and
I haven't seen it for about 10 minutes, hopefully it will show up again a
bit later today. Wow!
