Tn-Birders: This morning I had an adult male hummingbird outside my kitchen window. It was facing me on the backside of the feeder. I only saw the face, neck and some gray under the white band. There was no sun (we've had rain most of the day). I was unable to see the side or back of the bird. It was definitely a full adult. I believe it was an archilochus species. I've been away most of the day and have not had the opportunity to sit in the kitchen since returning home. I'll be in there watching before daybreak tomorrow and hopefully he will be back. Our son, visiting from the Atlanta area, briefly saw a hummer on Sunday morning. Bob Sargent said there are probably health issues involved if it is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
