Thanks to Diane Rand for these wonderful hummingbird pictures.
Diane writes, "I thought members might enjoy seeing photos taken by Doreen Cubie as she banded the immature Black-chinned hummingbird in my yard on Jan 4.
She also included a photo of a rare Buff-bellied hummingbird that she banded near Brunswick, Ga on the same day.
Please post these to the website so others can enjoy and be encouraged to leave their feeders out.
Thanks."
