The Selasphorus hummingbird was still present this morning from 10 am till
11 am, when we departed. Staff at the Gardens placed a hummingbird feeder
in one of the trees yesterday, and the bird was perching for extended
periods in a viburnum near the feeder, affording us very long looks.

Subject: [Va-bird] Selaphorus hummingbird at Green Spring Gardens
Thanks to William Hohenstein, Mike Pollack and I found the selaphorus
hummingbird at Green Spring Gardens in Annandale this morning feeding on
purple salvia bushes. I have had so little experience with Western
hummingbirds, I have no idea which this may be and would welcome input on
the ID. Turn right when arriving at the parking lot and drive to about the
15th parking space. There are steps leading up the the gardens near two
curved benches where the bird was seen, but it was also briefly on the other
side of the parking lot in a willow oak.
