I stopped by Haupt and Ripley Gardens and found both Rufous and
Black-chinned hummers. I first arrived at the Haupt Gardens to find the
Rufous in the orange flowers. I then met Helen Patton and we walked over
to Ripley Gardens. After a few minutes (and after one lady who had been
looking for a while just left) a Pine Warbler flew in to the willow
tree. Helen then spotted the Black-chinned Hummingbird as it arrived
right after the warbler. The warbler and Black-chinned fought a bit, but
then we got great looks at the Black-chinned as it drank from the feeder
in the willow. I believe that the time was 1:36 p.m.
