To Whom it May Concern-

I was at Retzers the other day; which is one of my favorite nature spots, and came across what I thought were baby hummingbirds. I was close to the creek near the Center and took some photos.

Later, after some research, I discovered they were actually Hummingbird Moths. In my research I found that they had not been seen in our area before so I wanted to let you know they are around!

I included the photos; unfortunately they are not the best, but you can make them out.


Sincerely,
Tracy Clark

Thanks for sharing, Tracy!
