Just a couple of facts, without opinion.
Here's another:
An adult female Rufous appeared a few miles from my home on October 5,
2001. I was finally able to trap her on December 1, after THREE SUBZERO
NIGHTS had killed all the yard's flowers and she'd begun using feeders
for the first time. She was in excellent condition, weighing a healthy
3.8 grams. A few days later--in much warmer weather--she left. This bird
had been banded as an adult by Nancy Newfield on November 24, 2000, in
Louisiana.
