FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] Late Rufous report

[kwcoh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I just heard from my new neighbors that they had a male Rufous Hummer at their 
feeder last week. They estimate it was about Oct. 1 or 2. These folks just 
moved here from New York, and they are learning our local backyard birds. They 
had been seeing Ruby-throats and then this bright orange-red fellow showed up. 
I wish I'd seen it for myself, but with their description, I doubt it could 
have been anything else.

Our last hummers--so far (!)--were here on Oct. 6th--several fat ones, males & 
females. Nobody since then. Our usual "last date" is a little later--closer to 
the 12th.
