Subject: [Leica] Anna's Hummingbird - correction

Hello again Luggers,
I have been contacted off list that my identification of the hummer as 
Anna's Hummingbird is not correct and that it was either a  Rufous or 
Allen's Hummingbird.
Not only are they hard to photograph - they are not so easy to identify 
either!
Thanks
Howard
