[birdky] Re: RPT: Rufous hummingbird at Louisville

Greetings Brainard,
     My name is David Dugas, I had the pleasure of meeting you again while
in Louisville viewing the Murrelet. I was wondering from your recent posting
of the hummingbird how long this bird has been present at this location?
Also you say Gene Snyder Freeway near I-65, do I take I-65, I would be
coming in from the Indiana side. Any information would be greatly
appreciated. Good Birding.
