I received the following message through the "contact us" link on the TOS website. As Ms. McDonald mentions below, she welcomes people to come by and see and photograph the bird. I presume she would also agree to having it banded. The two photos clearly show a white hummingbird, and I can't tell from them whether the bird has any non-white plumage, or its eye, beak or leg color. I'll be glad to forward the pictures to anyone who asks. I am also going to post the pictures on the TOS website this evening, and will send a message to this list-serve with the link to them.
