[RESEARCH Hilton Pond <research@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just posted my summary report for my annual Ruby-throated 
Hummingbird banding excursion to Costa Rica, and--guess what--there 
are a couple of RTHU feeding photos therein.  :-)
The account is at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek070208.html . It 
may be of interest to Kentucky birders because it's likely at least 
some RTHUs from your state end up wintering in Costa Rica.
You're welcome to consider those particular photos or any of the 
others on my two Web sites, http://www.hiltonpond.org and 
http://www.rubythroat.org
Happy Birding,

BILL
