Hey tweets, I'm compiling a comprehensive checklist of birds of Montlake Fill, and I have a question about hummingbirds.
I have a vague recollection of running into a birder years ago who said they had seen either a Costa's or a Black-chinned Hummingbird, I think maybe in the Yesler Swamp area, if memory serves.
Neither species is listed in eBird's list of all the birds of the Fill, and I don't have anything in my own notes.
I know not all of you post to eBird, and this sighting would have been before most of us got into the habit of posting to eBird.
If you have spotted such a hummer at the Fill, would you please respond privately to me? Thanks! - Connie, Seattle
P.S. My current list is at 278 species; eBird lists 264. My collection of records goes back to 1898, but I haven't yet had the time to post my own older records to eBird. I'm working on it!
