Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Judi, I live in North Carolina. I've been to three butterfly farms or gardens: one in Durham, NC; one in Myrtle Beach, SC; and one in Cancun. Needless to say, I enjoyed them all immensely.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thank you very much for this site, Judi. It seems that all hummingbirds except one species seen in NC are considered vagrants. So I submitted the information about my little vagrant unknown hummingbird. I found up a picture that I took of one last summer. It really was hard to get a picture of the little critter, but this one is pretty clear. It shows those two yellow strips down below his wings. I had a hard time figuring out at first if it was a hummingbird or a bee. I could send the picture to you as an attachment if you'd like.
