I accept this candidate as Idaho's first Ruby-throated Hummingbird record. Thank you, Stacy, for the extra effort you made to provide us with excellent documentation!

Stacy's report and photos present a thorough and convincing argument. The necessary field marks to confirm the identification of Ruby-throated Hummingbird are discussed and are visible in the photos. Nice job Stacy.

Admittedly, hummingbirds are not my specialty. This was a well-documented record of a species that was suspected to pass through occasionally during migration. The timing seems right and Stacy has seen and handled numerous hummingbirds of multiple species including many Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.

Excellent documentation of in-hand individual. I cannot argue with the experts.
