Hi folks,

I have observed what appears to be an anomalous hummingbird in the meadow near the boat launch facility at Marymoor Park. I first saw it about 9 days ago and it is still there today (3/30). After reviewing the photos, Dennis Paulson has given the strong opinion that it is a hybrid Rufous X Anna's. This may be the first to be seen in Washington.

Normally I would use my webpage at http://home1.gte.net/mikeham but Verizon is currently having big troubles. This is part of the delay in reporting this. Sorry!
