[obol] Fwd: black-chinned hummingbird

[Wilson Cady]

        I have had Black-chinned in Clark County on several occasions and
have found them on Silver Star Mountain north of Camas in June. Ken
Knittle reported a Calliope Hummingbird in his yard in Vancouver
yesterday, so perhaps there is a post breeding movement going on.
