["Ellen Whitaker" <ewhitaker2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The adult female Rufous hummer that was first noticed at our feeder on Lookout 
Mtn. on Nov. 19th is still around. Both Chris Sloan and Bob Sargent made 
unsuccessful attempts in December (about 2-3 weeks apart) to band the bird. 
They both believe her to be the same Rufous that Chris captured in March 2006 
only to discover she had been banded in Ringgold, GA in 2005. If so, she must 
remember those experiences as she buzzed around the cage repeatedly but refused 
to enter.
