[Marileetom@xxxxxxx]

We had great scope views of the Painted Bunting today (Sunday) which is still 
on territory and singing.  While waiting for it to appear, we observed a L. 
Shrike, a MS Kite, and a Ruby-throated Hummer w/orange colored throat!  Is 
this as unusual as I think it is?  All other markings are like a Rubythroat.  
It was a gray day but I still expected a true red.

On the way home, we spent time looking for the Scissor-tailed Flycatchers 
near LBL but there was no sign of them or their nest.  There was a terrible 
hail storm in that area earlier in the day (just before we drove through on 
our way west) leaving 2-3 inches of golf ball size hail on the highway.  A 
strange weather day w/temps from 50 to 78, plus rain, hail, and lots of wind!
