As I was photographing the worn Selasphorus hummingbird at the feeder this
morning, I was shocked to see it was chased off the perch and driven from the
yard by .. an adult male Ruby-throated! If this is a Rufous, it's a mighty
wimpy one. A call from a neighbor near Kiptopeke State Park told of 2 hummers
attending her feeders as well; if I see them, I'll post news here. Many more
Winter Wrens and Hermit Thrushes this morning, all over town; the best year
I've seen for these species by far!
