Gary & Josh, It's all Wayne Forsythe. Birds go out of there way to find
him (I bet they keep a list). This hummer probably just got lost on his way
to Henderson County. I wouldn't even be surprised if Wayne found a Horned
Puffin at Lake Osceola. On the other hand Wayne has been very good at
sending his cast offs to those of us who are unworthy! That reminds me I
need to send Wayne my winter sparrow request.

yep, if i were betting, i'd get in line behind Josh. since i'm not betting
though, i'm pulling for the 'big ones.'
speaking of 'big ones,' i saw a first this eve. a very large moth (size of a
hummer) with a ridiculously long proboscis actually frightened a
Ruby-throated off of a feeder, then hovered and fed for about 2 minutes.
there's some really wierd-looking stuff flying 'round out there.
