This morning (21 November 2001) I re-trapped an After-Hatch-Year
female Rufous Hummingbird at the home of a friend in Casar (Cleveland
County, North Carolina). I banded this bird at the same residence on
11 February 2001.
This RUHU originally showed up in mid-October 2000, but I didn't hear
about it for several months. After banding,it hung around until late
March and returned again in mid-October 2001. The bird is in
excellent condition.
Of the winter vagrant hummingbirds I've banded, this is the first to
return in a later season.
Happy Hummingbird Banding,
BILL
P.S. Photos and additional info will be posted to my Web site sometime soon.
