I just got off the phone with Bob Lewis. Lanny Chambers banded the hummingbird in Farmington today, and measurements and plumage confirmed it is an immature female BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD, which would be a Missouri first. Bob is having email trouble, and asked me to post this. The bird is at the Don Asher residence in Farmington. The phone number is 573-756-9139 (Bob Lewis can be reached at 573-756-5484). The bird is coming to the feeder about every 20 minutes. Directions: Go south on Highway 67 from St. Louis, and take the first Farmington exit. At the fourth light (North Washington), turn right. Proceed south until just past the courthouse, and turn left on East Columbia. The first stop sign is at South Henry. Turn right. Proceed about 1 mile to old Fredricktown Road, and turn onto it. In about 1/2 mile is Hawthorn. Turn left. The Asher residence, 109 Hawthorn, is the third house on the left. Good luck. I can't be up there until Sunday, but I'll give it a try. ----Bill Eddleman, Cape Girardeau __________________________________________________ * Audubon Society of Missouri's * * Wild Bird Discussion Forum * *------------------------------------------------* * To unsubscribe send the message * * SIGNOFF MOBIRDS-L * * to [log in to unmask] * * To subscribe send the message * * SUBSCRIBE MOBIRDS-L your name * * to [log in to unmask] * *------------------------------------------------* * To access the list archives from July 2002 on: * * http://po.missouri.edu/archives/mobirds-l.html * * * * To access the Audubon Society of Missouri Web * * Site: http://www.mobirds.org * ##################################################
