I got lucky with this male Ruby-throated hummingbird.

Some photos I've posted recently on FB, for those who aren't on that odd virtual space.
I think these were all taken through the kitchen window except the asterisked ones.
WARBLERS
October 17 2022, Cape May warbler (female/immature)
Yes it's fuzzy, but you can see white tail markings not apparent in the still shots, further evidence of yellow rump too.

I have two saxophones, an alto and a tenor. The tenor is newer (circa 1965) and has a feature that the 1923 Buescher alto lacks: left-pinky-pushing the Bb/B/C# key also activates the G# key. On the alto the G# key is completely independent.
The electronic Yamaha YDS-150 acts the same as the tenor.
All I had to do was add some bits and pieces to the G# key in the right places so the other keys would push it down. Sorry, no before-mod shots.
*Google says: "The word was first proposed by Davy in the form alumium, and changed by him to aluminum; but was finally made aluminium to conform to the analogy of sodium, potassium, etc. ... And so we land today: with aluminum used by the English speakers of North America, and aluminium used everywhere else."
