Someone ran some R-stats and posted the graphs to the Facebook page (and the photos / ebird link is there too). Personally I couldn't see anything to rule out Least - and I've lived on both sides of the Continental Divide, although not as long as many of you I'm sure. There was some Western birders who were pretty unequivocal in ruling out Hammonds (and Dusky never got a look in etc.....) cheers Dom *Dominic Garcia-Hall* *www.antbirds.com <http://www.antbirds.com/>* *NY +1 917 740 1945* *UK +44 161 818 6166*
