["Bryant, Rhonda" <rbryant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An outside salesman of the company I work for just told me of a hummingbird he 
saw about 3 weeks ago at his home in LaGrange. He was with in 5 foot of the 
bird and swears he wasn't drinking. It was black with a yellow band around the 
throat and a smaller red band below that. Anyone know of such a species that 
might be an escapee?

While I'm here; Berea woods on Sunday:
We heard about everything we should have and nothing we shouldn't. Plenty of 
warblers, vireos, thrushes, and flycatchers singing. Kentucky, Worm-eating , 
Black-and-white, Hooded, and Pine, with 1 Oven bird at lower elevations with 
the Wood Thrush and a White-eyed Vireo.  Numerous Yellow-throated Vireos also I 
had an Acadian as far from water as I have ever found one. It was half way up 
in elevation and not within a ¼ mile of even a dry ravine. It was in deep 
woods, however. And we jumped up a Woodcock.  I never hear a Black-throated 
Green there after migration.  

There was a species of mature  tree that I was never close enough to for an ID, 
but could see scattered across the hill sides from certain vantage points that 
still shows the late freeze damage. Apparently the smaller limbs were killed 
and now the only leaves are found close to the main limbs.
