I just wanted to share the sighting of a extremely large[fat]banded hummingbird.It was late in the season and all my regular hummingbirds were gone and my feeder had been put up for the winter.When in the middle of October I saw the largest hummingbird I had ever seen hovering over my cardinal vine[she really liked it]she was at least 3 times as fat as the usual Ruby throat hummers that we get in the summer.She was so fat I don't know how she flew!On closer inspection I noticed a tiny silver band on her leg.She stayed 2 days enjoying the cardinal vine!
