Hybrid hummingbird
Today we banded hummingbirds at the oasis and caught what appears to be a hybrid juvenile male. The bander (Kelly Bryan) says it's probably a hybrid between a Ruby-throated and Black-chinned. Whatever it is, it's cool looking. I would love to see him as an adult with a full gorget.

WOW! And I thought the hybrid quail family at our house was cool...father a Gambel, mother a Scaled, but the juveniles move to fast to see them!
David, I would love to see photos of your hybrid quail. Is there a link to them somewhere?
