Hybrid hummingbird at CMO

Just to show you the value of taking photos, On August 27th a new birder at the oasis took lots of hummingbird photos. This person (Caley Thomas) posted them on ebird, where I came upon them. Several that were among Lucifer photos didn't look right to me so I sent the images to expert Kelly Bryan. He said it is indeed a hybrid Lucifer/Black-chinned, and the first photo documentation he's seen of a juvenile male hybrid of that particular hybrid, so that's exciting.



No photo, didn't happen, is my motto.
