[EBB Sightings] Allen's Hummingbird at Miller-Knox, Richmond

I stopped by Miller-Knox Regional Shoreline late this afternoon on my  
way to an appointment elsewhere in Richmond. I was interested to see  
if the Red-breasted Mergansers I observed on January 23 were still  
present. They were gone, but I did spot the Eurasian Wigeon among the  
70 or so American Wigeon.

I heard the flight of a Selasphorus hummingbird in the same area that  
I detected one on the 23rd. This time, it took me only five minutes  
to see the bird perched and hovering, having just chased an Anna's  
from an acacia tree. I was able to confirm that it is an Allen's.
