Today I visited Hart County to check on two recently reported Rufous
Hummingbirds.
My first stop was at Mitch Sturgeon's to attempt to document the band # of the
adult female presumed to be "Whoopie" (who wintered at Mitch's last year and at
Lew & Ruth Young's place south of Glasgow the winter before). I was successful
only in obtaining some pics of the band; on one photo I *think* I can read two
of the five numbers that would be consistent with her band. I'll have to return
to get better pics.
The next stop was only about 7 miles to the north-northeast at Mike Hensley's
place where an adult male Rufous has been present for a few weeks. Mike has a
cloud of Ruby-throateds there to get in the way, but we were successful in
catching the Rufous, which did not have a band. It was banded and released.
Mike let me post a few of his pics of the bird on the KOS Flickr site.
Mike's bird is the FIFTH Rufous Hummingbird already documented in the state
this fall.
