Not knowing what I saw has bothered me since last fall. When  I was =
sitting out side in the late evening I witnessed the visit of a =
hummingbird,  feeding on a geranium,  that I cannot identify. It was =
half the size of a rubythroated hummer. On it's back appeared stripes =
running crosswise of it's boby. At first I thought it was a large beatle =
than I saw a tiny beak it was inserting in the flower to feed. We fed =
many hummers during the summer and they had already left to migrate. Can =
you tell me what I have seen.
