Concerning the hummer I saw: 
I have not seen the bird again, but I have not been at  home much. Between 
school and visiting my mom at Morning View Transitional  Care, I have had very 
little time in front of the kitchen window. If anybody  wants to "sit out" in 
the back yard, be my guest. When I have spotted hummers  lately, they have all 
been immature Ruby-Throats. This dark headed/throated  hummer just really got 
my attention. I did notice on this bird that it's tail  was short. I didn't 
see the bird from the back, so I don't know if it had a  notched tail or not. 
It's wings looked about a quarter inch longer  than the tail. My husband, who 
is 
not a birder, also saw the bird, and he said  that it looked "different" from 
the male Ruby-Throats we have. 
Sure wish I could see it again!
