Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Dear Birders,

I am a little late with this acknowledgment, but just wanted to give public thanks to Paul Lehman for identifying and consulting with other hummingbird experts and their ensuing discussions on the identification of the Ruby-throated. Such a great education. In addition, Paul found the best solution for many birders to navigate around for viewing with the least stress on the neighborhood. I am so very grateful for that since the idea of lots of birders with cameras crawling up the slopes or possibly going into a private residence was stressing me out. Some of you may not know that Kathy Aldern initially spotted the bird during our BVAS monthly walk.
