Great shot of the Calliope! You got a lot of detail in the image. I imagine you were jockeying for position with lots of other birders to see this rare hummer there.
Yes, the property owner was exceptionally generous in opening her yard to any and all who wanted the chance to see it. A true “once in a lifetime” sighting for our area.
