Many many thanks to Noah Kahn for posting this bird. I watched his feeder for about 30min on my way to the lab today and she visited twice.
Based on color and size, I ruled out Calliope, but haven't looked close enough at the photos below to see if I could get her to spp (I should be working right now :)I have almost never made the call with these gals unless in the hand, or when breeding.
Would appreciate an expert opinion...
