Fellow TN-Birders Super congratulations to Mr. Chris Sloan! What a wonderful discovery of a long awaited Broad-tailed! The in-hand documentation will quiet the stiffest critics of such a rare, rare bird. Chris has accomplished early on in his research efforts something that eluded Martha Sargent and I for so many years! Broad-tailed Hummingbird!!!!! Just plain outstanding work amigo! Keep it up. Based on my experience, and many scenarios of rare birds at residential feeders, I cannot over emphasize the importance of abiding by the rules and the necessity of good conduct in such a situations. Enjoy guys! Wow! What a neat bird to add to the rolls in Tennessee!! You guessed it, I am excited for my friend Chris and all Tennessee birders.
