The Hummingbird Dilemma

Back in Michigan, the only hummingbird I could realistically expect was Ruby-throated.  Granted, they were plentiful there and a delight to watch.  The way hummingbirds defy the laws of physics is awe-inspiring.  Here in my part of Kansas, there are no hummingbirds that breed.  During migration, there is a chance at a few different types of hummers, though.  The most likely is still Ruby-throated followed by Rufous and then Calliope, Broad-tailed, and Black-chinned with a few other really rare hummers seen once or twice in the state.  However, no hummingbird is a given here.  Take this year for example.  I put Ruby-throated as a Code 1 bird, meaning I would be guaranteed to see it with relatively little effort expended.  Guess how many Ruby-throats I've seen so far this year.  Yeah-zero!
So today as I was birding with Caid, I saw a hummer flitting here and there on the side of the road.
"Awesome!" I thought.  My next thought was, "It's probably a Ruby-throated."  Usually, this would be followed by some let down, but this year, even a Ruby-throated in August is a year bird.  However, as the bird landed and I creeped the car forward to get pics, I noticed that this didn't look like a Ruby-throated; in fact this is what I saw:

  Now I want you to notice a few things about the bird:
1.  It has a buffy wash on the sides of its body.
2.  Its tail is very very short, not reaching past the wingtips.
3.  The bird looks very chunky.
4.  The second picture appears to show the beginnings of a gorget appearing.
All of these clues lead clearly to the conclusion that this is a Calliope Hummingbird and probably a young male bird if there is indeed a gorget appearing.  Anyways, it's a year bird, a county bird for me, and a new Rooks County record!
P.S. Although not quite as exciting of a find, I also got my first Rooks County Least Flycatcher.
