November is an excellent time to discover rare hummer species in Kentucky. Most of the Ruby-throateds have departed, and the chances of a hummer being something other than a RT are good. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to study/photograph any hummers that occur in the state now. The females and immatures of some species are extremely similar to female RTs, and may require a close look through a spotting scope or study of photos to determine ID. If anyone happens to host a hummer from now through mid-March, please contact me via email if you wouldn't mind me studying and photographing it.
