Notes: Another beautiful warm day. The most interesting capture
of the day was a male RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD with an almost entirely
green back. Easily the greenest backed male I have ever encountered

The tail length and the width of R2 as well as the deep notch in
R2 all indicate that is definitely a Rufous not an Allen's.

Half-a-bee, philosophically must ipso-facto half not-be.
But half the bee, has got to bee Vis-a-vis its entity...
d'you see?
But can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee due to some ancient injury?
