All,
interesting! Given it was not an adult male, we need to designate the hummer as a Selasphorus.
Wayne— could you email me privately with your description of the hummingbird??
Winter hummingbird season will be upon us before we know it!

I just saw a Rufous Hummingbird in the New Hanover Arboretum. It fed briefly on the little hibiscus in the circular butterfly flower exhibit.
