Bristol Birders,

Buchanan County Bird Club members Johnnie and Betty Ratliff have enjoyed a
western visitor to their feeders for the past few days.  A Selasphorus
Hummingbird (probably a Rufous) has been making stops at their window
feeder at least once an hour.  Yesterday, Johnnie managed to get the bird
on film and I managed to shoot some video.  Roger Mayhorn is on the scene
this morning and we are hoping for some more pictures to add to the club's
web page.

Johnnie and Betty would like to invite area birders to stop by and see this
hummer.  Their e-mail address is johnebette@xxxxxxxxxx and phone number is
(276) 935-7315.

Here is the link to the pictures that Johnnie made yesterday:

Johnnie has reported a second bird that appears to be a little larger and
has more gray.  We have yet to capture this bird on film.
