Haven't been to Ft. Bayard Park the last two mornings, but spent this 
morning watching the feeder, which is back up after its summer vacation.  No 
unusual feeder birds, but a few feet away at the red honeysuckle I had a 
brief visit from a hummingbird.  I didn't get a great look, but it appeared 
green-backed and consistent with an immature or female RUBY-THROATED.  That 
seems by far the most likely thing anyway, though it's getting a little 
toward the late side.

The recent reports of kestrel migration have been interesting--Ft. Bayard 
Park was lucky enough to share in it, with a flyover bird on Wednesday, good 
for species #97.
