Rufous Hummingbird Update
Ruffles, the rare Rufous Hummingbird, high-tailed to parts unknown on April 4 after being a houseguest at a heated feeder near the Celery Farm for more than five months.
Images of the female hummer were sent to the state records committee, who said it was indeed a Rufous and not a nearly identical species known as an Allen's.
A huge thank you to Ruffles' gracious hosts, Bob and Lisa Safier. (Outstanding job!)
