Shh! Do you see the pair of brilliant Calliope hummingbirds visiting this colorful garden of honeysuckles and morning glories?

Male hummers aggressively defend nectar patches from rivals during this seasonal blooming. After mating, the female leaves the male's territory to seek her own source of nectar and build a nest.

Soon, a clutch of coffee-bean-size eggs hatch with two hungry nestlings! Since the mother bird requires a daily ration of nectar equal to her own body weight to survive, the additional burden of extra mouths to feed is a demanding responsibility. But the stoic female hummingbird heroically accomplishes the task.

Use this guide to discover more Calliope hummers hidden in the blooms, as well as the bird featured on Plate Four—a Costa's hummer. Great enjoyment!
