Cullorpe (Hummingbird)
E. fork Sheep Creek, 5500 ft, King R. Canyon, Truax Co., CO
June 2, 1942
Left after about 6 minutes and reappeared in
3 min. from SW, flying directly into nest & for several
seconds turning head rapidly from side
to side. Facing NE sitting very erect this
time could see about "2 in. of breast below
wrist of black throat markings. Disappear
direct left I could note the direction she took.
Appeared in about 4 min., perched at edge of
nest & fed nestling. Could not see the
direction of her first job, however the next
three, two seemed directed to the same
gap of the nest. Slid on nest facing NW &
suffled her wings several times as she
settled down. Did not notice, between feedings,
the throwing back of the head which I
had noticed before. Flew off in about 5 min.
made an arc & flew around toward NE
swooping downward & then up again.
If N' represent the nest, she followed line
N'X.
