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.

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!
