CMO Allen's Hummingbird

I finally was able to take a few distant shots of the selasphorus that I've gotten occasional glimpses of this winter. It's definitely banded, which explains its elusiveness. I think it might be an Allen's based on how tiny the tail is. I'm going to try for spread tail shots tomorrow. Probably impossible with my lack of camera expertise, but if I could get a good one it could tell positively which selasphorus species it is.


Update: I sent Kelly Bryan photos of this hummer and he confirmed it is an Allen's. Now we need to see what the band number is.
