TB birders, For those interesting in adding rufous hummer to their year list, here are the leads I know about: 1-Daniel Jacobson, Beth Schilling, Max Medley(Dalton, GA), and I saw the rufous female on Lookout Mtn at the home of John and Ellen Whitaker, 4 Fort Stephenson Place. Since Jan Chadwell forwarded me instructions on how to get htere, you might check with her. 2-Frank and Linda Leamon in Ooltewah still have an imm female rufous coming to their feeder as of Sat(27Jan). They welcome birders to come and see their little beauty. Phone 423-238-5602. We ended up not going there, as the Lookout Mtn bird cooperated. 3-Margaret Walker of Harrison had an imm male rufous as of 21Nov, but I do not have a followup. A phone call might be productive if you live close to this spot. 4-Finally, Ron and Ann Koplan had a female rufous coming to their feeder in Nov and Dec before the Chattanooga CBC. A phone call to their number at 423-892-4644 was not answered on Sat. Their address is 8504 Georgetown Trace Lane, which is easy access off east Brainerd Road. I tried twice here without luck. They did say to call ahead of time, and they put up the dogs, which will increase you chances. Hope this helps some of you.
