y'all might be interested in Sheri's reply, and my guess is that you know who she is... --- the forwarded message follows --- --Forwarded Message Attachment-- Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2012 17:16:58 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fwd: [wsbn] Help - Hummingbird at Larry's house Hi, Larry! It's a juvenile male Black-chinned (bill's too long and forecrown's too dull for RTHU, tail is totally wrong for ANHU or COHU), but there's something going on with his wing and tail feathers. Looks like both got gummed up with something, plus his tail has been lost and replaced prematurely, hence the tiny white tips on otherwise entirely black R4-5. Hope this helps! Sheri Sheri L.
