[birdky] RPT: Update on Rufous Hummingbird and Scott's Oriole

Mary Cleary emailed me a couple of days ago and noted that her female
Rufous Hummingbird continues off Bardstown Road in Louisville. With the
warm weather, she does not see the bird a lot, but on Sunday (March
18th) she saw it a couple of times.
 
I just returned from visiting the Slezak's north of Frankfort and their
female Scott's Oriole continues. The bird looks a bit more scruffy and
not quite as bright for some reason. There is a tad more of a darkish
smudge on the throat and breast, but I couldn't tell if it was feathers
out of place as much as newly exposed dark feathers. There was a
first-year male (singing but brown) Purple Finch among the many American
Goldfinches and House Finches.
