Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found feeding on flowers in flower beds in mountains of Colorado. Weather was partly to mostly cloudy, dry, calm and in the mid 60's. Appeared to be a hummingbird from a distance. I've never seen one in this area before today. It was moving very quickly and was not a fan of photography.
