A Rufous Hummingbird was photographed at the Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside on Thursday morning Oct 6 in the spot where Ruby-throated have been seen and photographed for several weeks now. No Hummers of any kind were seen today in the morning nor afternoon, at least until 3:00, Mike is on vacation and will not be back until Tuesday. . Which is why he probably didn't get to alert the birding community. (Facility closed Sunday and Monday)
A lot of people took a lot of photos there. Maybe the Rufous was there earlier. Take another look at your stuff to see if something might be different.
