[obol] calliope hummingbird

Hi Clint.  Thanks for news of the Calliope Hummingbirds.  I have had one drop by for a few hours to a few days in my garden in NE Portland for the last two years.  I am anxiously waiting to see if he shows up again this year.   I see it the last week of April, first week of May.
