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
