Notes: A beautiful, warm first day of spring, though slow on the

first banded 4/19/2003. This is the first significant recapture
of a Rufous Hummingbird for the Neawanna Station.

We also spent quite a bit of time watching the display interactions
between a male and female Rufous, the details of which are available

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?
