Last Thursday (10/23/03) at c. 11:30 we spatted a hummer at a feeder 
that was not a migrating Rubythroat & soon determined ,with the help of 
Sibley's guide, that it was either a Rufous, or an Allen's adult female. 
It is the first Selasphorus we have seen in the 17 years we have lived 
in Berea & an exciting bird for our home list. Paul Hager came over to 
confirm our diagnosis.
It has made daily appearences through Sunday (10/26/03) but we have not 
seen it today.
I did post it last Fri. PM but sent it to an old birdky address so it 
didn't appear. Sorry.
Art & Tina Ricketts, Madison Co.
