Hi All,
It's looking very good indeed as all feedback so far from
various banders and birders is pointing to West Virginia's
first Black-chinned Hummingbird. Lynne Wiseman who lives
just outside of Harper's Ferry is the proud hostess. If you would
like to contact Lynne for a visit she can be contacted at:
lewiseman AT aol.com
If your interested in seeing some of the feedback I can pass
it on.
The bird looks like a female and the (immature/adult) question is
open for debate as the bird is in serious molt and molt timings are
different between HY birds and adults.
Wil posted a location of some of his shots in an early posting today.
Here are some of mine:
