I have had a hummingbird for over 3 weeks now and it doesn't seem intent on
leaving anytime soon. At first I thought it was a very late ruby throated
passing through, but then I had heard somewhere that hummers seen this late are
usually not ruby throated. It is definitely one of those confusing
female/immature situations.no real defining field marks.it looks like an
immature male ruby throated, but then it also seems to have faint rufous on its
flanks. I haven't been able to get a good look at its tail feathers which
would help immensely. This is my first time having a hummer hang around this
late in the fall .what a treat! If anyone is interested in seeing or banding
it, let me know.I would love to get a positive ID.
