I helped Chris Sloan band two more Rufous Hummingbirds in KY on Sunday
morning. The Eklund's bird actually may be an adult female; Chris was
having second thoughts on the drive over to Louisville; too much green in
the central tail feathers. For the sake of the bird, banding is done as
quickly as possible, and in-the-field measurements and quick overview of the
bird sometimes yield different results than later analysis of the data.
The Smith's bird in south Louisville did prove to be an immature male
Rufous, a beautiful little bird that does, in deed, have some rufous
feathers mixed into the back.
