Hi Texbirders,

My blessings never cease. After photographing my first Calliope for 
the yard on 3/11, I have had one coming to the feeder daily since.

I spent some time yesterday, trying to get more photos as time goes 
on, to see his gorget feathers fill out.

Here is yesterdays bird on a flower stem.

Notice he just has a few central feathers.

The bird on the 11th had just a single feather on the left side of his throat.

Yesterdays bird has no rosy feathers on the left side.

My wife thought she saw two different birds while we were taking the 
photographs, so maybe two Calliopes!

Good birding,
