search for another lifer. Photos 1 and 2 by Bob Metzler. Photos 3

![BewicksWren2.jpg (19953 bytes)](images/BewicksWren2_small.jpg)
On
November 28, 1998, this handsome Bewick's
Wren showed up in Jim Ingold's mist
nests near Caddo Lake in Marion County.

Also in November 1998, this Broad-tailed
Hummingbird (below) showed up at
Peggy Harding's feeders. These photos were taken by Peggy shortly after it
arrived. By the time it left in the spring of 1999, it was looking much
more like a male Broad-tailed Hummer. If anyone has photos of it taken in
the spring, please let us scan them to post here.
