Any chance that the wintering hummer at Lewis Ginter has a Band?  

Just hoping that "my" hummer from a few years ago may have found another
winter home here in Richmond.

Al and Listserv,

Caroline Coe and I had good looks at the hummingbird, and Penny Reynolds 
had glimpse of it in flight today. After getting home and consulting my 
books, I think the bird may have actually been an adult female Rufous. 
In Sibley, anyway, the juvenile male has a lot more rufous in the tail, 
back and head than the bird we observed, and the juvenile female as 
pictured has no red in the throat.

Looking forward to hearing of further observations!

Lewis
