I see that a couple of folks have reported this bird on eBird already. Has 
anyone managed any decent photos? Are you sure it's Selasphorus?

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Female Selasphorus hummingbird in Silver Spring

A female Selasphorus hummingbird was first seen today at 2pm.  For anyone in the 

area that wants to try for it, the location of the hummingbird feeder is such 
that viewing from now until sunset will be good.  Feel free to stop by at 9500 
Thornhill RD in Silver Spring, walk around back (to left/south side of the 
house) and view from the obvious vegetable garden.   It's been hawking gnats and 

visiting the feeder.

(Note: this is a different location than where you may have visited the 
white-winged crossbill a couple years ago, so don't go to that house!)
