Rufous Hummer at Columbus NC




Today (20 October 2003) we banded a first-year male Rufous Hummingbird at Columbus (Polk County), North Carolina. Curiously, it was at the new home of Buren and Luanne Blankenship, who hosted a Rufous we banded when they lived in Pendleton SC back in November 2000.

Happy Hummingbird Watching!
