It ain't over 'til it's over. The winter vagrant hummingbird season,
that is. :-)
Today (31 March 2003) I traveled to Seneca SC (Oconee County) to band
a rather late female Rufous Hummingbird that--along with a more
elusive second-year male--has been around most of the winter.
Details are on the Web site for Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont
Natural History at

Later in the day I observed and adult male Ruby-throated Hummingbird
at Piedmont SC, my first sighting of the year for that species.
Happy Hummingbird Watching!
