Hi Greg -- You might ask that the home-owners try to get a photo or home video (if they have a camcorder) of either of these birds, for the Records Committee, even if (due to logistical problems) no "twitchers" get to see them. The hummingbird in particular sounds very interesting, there are several which could fit the brief description, all worth further investigation. Thanks for the alerts -- other Ranch Club inhabitants should be on the look out...! Cheers, Gail Mackiernan gail@umdd.umd.edu
