Broad-tailed Hummingbird
This hummingbird nests throughout the Western states but only in mountain elevations. I have spent time with the BTH in several states, and, yes, every time I encountered it I did so at elevations between 7000-8000 feet.
In the Mountains east of Salt Lake City, this species is all over. It makes a trilling sound as it flies by, and I never walked more than fifteen minutes without hearing one.
Perhaps not oddly, they respond very well to feeders. The host of a campground at which I stayed had perhaps a dozen feeders next to her RV. She said she goes through 3 gallons a week. How spectacular.
I simply stood and shot for an hour.
