On 10 November 2002 I observed but did not band an apparent
Ruby-throated Hummingbird at a feeder that was also being frequented
by a hatch-year male Rufous Hummingbird.
As with the apparent Ruby-throat reported at Raleigh on the same day
by Susan Campbell, this would be an extremely late date for an inland
Ruby-throat in the Carolinas.
Happy Nature Watching,
BILL
