Eighteen-Years Ago Today. World Life List #62. Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.

Broad-tailed Hummingbird (Selasphorus platycercus). Observed, actually first heard — loud chirps at the Lily Lake area in Rocky Mountain National Park. Lily lake is on Colorado highway 7 just outside of Estes Park. I would come back to Lily Lake many times over the time I was working part time in Boulder, Colorado just to look for the Broad-tailed Hummingbirds. Other images of Broad-tailed Hummingbirds are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
