I think the storm blew in this hummingbird, which looks like a rufous hummingbird.It showed up just after Hurricane Bill. It is certainly more territorial than the ruby-throated, which are always at our two feeders. We have them on opposite sides of our house and this new bird owns one of them. It is very aggressive even toward insects. It had been here for three days. – Kelly Baxter, Kingston Peninsula Another adult male rufous hummingbird! What a coincidence – New Brunswick’s third record of an adult male at almost the same time as the appearance of the secondever male at the feeder of Carol Whipple in Rothesay, only a few kilometres away. Kelly’s photos clearly show that the back of this male is entirely rufous, eliminating the possibility of it being the similar Allen’s hummingbird, which always shows some amount of green on its dorsal surface. After speaking with Kelly and Carol I learned that both hummers remained at their new-found lunch stations for about three days before moving on, illustrating how valuable such food sources are to wayward strays. Hopefully the birds flew south, which was the direction they should have gone when they first left their western homes. – Jim Wilson
