Hi Jim, and others,

I can't speak for the mid-Atlantic area, but this is shaping to be a
decent hummer season in Tennessee.

This link, by the state hummer expert Chris Sloan, lists 13 hummers
in Tennessee.  Some have already come and gone.  I'm lucky that two
of them have been in my home town!  I got to see an adult male
Calliope. Ironically I arrived in Maryland about 30 minutes before my
wife called me to report that there is a bird tentatively identified
as Black-chinned  less than 2 miles from our house.  The posts on
that bird, btw, mirror those about the bird in DC as regards ID.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Everyone, please think good weather thoughts for my eastern shore
trip tomorrow...

Charlie
