I've updated my web page to reflect the latest banding efforts, plus a whopping number of new reports: http://home.comcast.net/~chris.sloan/WinterHummers2004.html Most notably, this afternoon I banded an adult female Allen's Hummingbird in Williamson County, TN. If memory serves, this is the 5th state record, and only my second. It was noticeably tiny in the hand; so much so that I did a double take to make sure I wasn't crazy and wasn't holding a Calliope! Contact me if you wish to look for this bird; however, I will warn you that this individual is indistinguishable from a Rufous in the field. Also, if anyone didn't catch it on another listserv, one of the Rufous Hummingbirds (an immature female at the time) that I banded in Knoxville during my record 6 bird day last Dec. 13 was recaptured last week by Susan Campbell in North Carolina about 100 miles east of its original banding site. Next weekend, I'm going to try to tackle the 5 Kentucky birds; in the meantime, Portia and I may try to pick off a couple of the Nashville-area birds during the week, before work. So many birds, so little time!
