(6 Accept, 1 Reject)

Shirley Sturts -- Accept

Documentation is sketchy but the hummingbird in the photographs has the red central spot and white over the eye that I see in the Sibley Field Guide and in the photographs of the other Anna's that we are voting on.

Barely adequate description, but good (fuzzy) photos) and comparison with other hummers.

Pictures adequate, if still fuzzy. Stacy's comments were helpful.

Darren Clark -- Reject, specific identification not established

The photograph and written documentation looks convincing, but the timing seems a bit odd. I'd like to see other comments.

Darren Clark -- Accept

I had questions about timing that were answered and am comfortable now accepting the record.

Hardy -- Accept

I agree that this is a female Anna's based on size (larger than Calliope), extensive white over eye, and beginnings of throat patch.

Hardy -- Accept

Although I may have voted to accept this record on the first round based on faulty identification knowledge, I am now basing my acceptance on the addendum by our in-house expert.
