The 2 female type Rufous Hummingbirds were a great find by Larry on September 23. Soon afterward, Mike took good photos of the spread tail on one bird so I sent it to hummingbird banders in NC and TX. The bird that Mike photographed is a young male Rufous. The banders pointed out the differences between an adult female and a young male, according to the gorget and the color of the central tail feathers. So, there's at least 1 young male Rufous Hummingbird there.
