[va-bird] Selasphorus still around


The Allen's/Rufous Hummingbird, a young male, has spent all day every day for 
the past 3 days here at the house (9 Randolph Ave., Cape Charles); anyone is 
welcome to visit and photograph and study the bird.   The tail feathers appear 
a little bit worn, so I don't think I'll go out on a limb to identify the 
bird.   Jon Dunn has seen it on several occasions and thinks it's probably a 
Rufous.   A bander may visit to confirm or deny that, as it were.   Other yard 
birds today were 3 Pine Siskins, 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches, a Blackpoll 
Warbler, 
a Pine Warbler, and a Black-throated Green Warbler.   One of the CCB staff 
located an Oregon Junco at the southernmost point of Kiptopeke State Park 3 
days 
ago, a a rare subspecies group in Virginia.
