[mou] Costa's Hummingbird

[DonaldE.Mitchell]

I was able to investigate the lingering hummingbird brought in from the
cold into a basement in Wright Co.--the one featured in the story on KARE
11 news a few days ago.  

It is a first-year male Costa's Hummingbird that has just about completed
its first molt into adult plumage; it is unmistakeable and there is
abundant photographic and video evidence for documentation.

It appeared to be in surprisingly good health and will soon be removed
from the basement and brought to a rehabilitation center.
