Rufous Hummingbird at Todd NC




On 26 October 2003, I banded a young female Rufous Hummingbird at Todd NC, not far from Boone.


This bird seems to have somewhat advanced molt for a hatch-year individual at this time of year, as is shown in the photos at http://www.hiltonpond.org/RufousBanding031026Main.html


Happy Winter Hummingbird Watching!
