All,

My odd hummer was caught and banded this morning by Tim Tolford
http://www.tolford.com/birdband/Hummingbirds.htm .  It has turned out
to be an immature male Ruby-throated that has some very odd molt going
on.  That is what threw me off - I have never seen anything like this
before.  They are supposed to molt on the wintering grounds.

To see photos go to my blog at : http://donaldthebirder.blogspot.com/
, (Tim has more that he took and will post them on his site later).
