Calypte ID still not confirmed

I think the only way to resolve the question is for Kelly Bryan to come catch it and measure it. He plans on doing that tomorrow afternoon. The question is if it's a pure Costa's or a Anna's X Costa's hybrid. Here are a few photos I shot today.

Michael Gray and his lovely wife, Cecilia, visited the feeders late this afternoon and he got killer shots of the calypte. Will post when they're available.

Sorting laundry this morning I found a Tawny Emperor in the clothes hamper. Didn't seem that healthy but I released it anyway.
