Rufous Hummer at Charlotte NC




I got to visit the Charlotte NC home of Jon & Sharon Peterson today (3 Nov 2003) to band a young female Rufous Hummingbird. Thanks to the Petersons for so graciously allowing me to show up at their door at 7 a.m.


The Petersons are the first members of our "Hummingbird Hobnob" Yahoo! group to report a winter vagrant hummingbird that was in turn banded in conjunction with "Operation RubyThroat: The Hummingbird Project." :-)

Details about and photos of this bird are on the Web site for Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History at http://www.hiltonpond.org/RufousBanding021103Main.html .

Happy WINTER Hummingbird Watching!
