I saw Marty's Rufous Hummingbird in southern Seneca County this evening. It made a couple of quick visits to the feeder at about 5:25 PM. I have put some photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Fall2012Birds.

Here is our eBird checklist with a few notes (more discussion probably to come on the age and sex of this bird, this is just my impression so far): http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11818250 It was coming more frequently and being more cooperative than the bird in Brooktondale at the beginning of October, although after reviewing photos, they are very similar looking (right down to the single red spot in the gorget, which admittedly is not a rare feature.) Not sure we got enough documentation on the Brooktondale bird to be able to conclusively say they are or not the same bird (distance involved makes it surprising, if not impossible, that they could be). In any case, a beautiful bird that has been around (probably, at least a hummingbird has been around Merty's house) since about October 3rd. -Jay On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 9:06 AM, Jay McGowan <jw...@cornell.edu> wrote: > Marty's hummingbird is still coming this morning and does indeed > appear to be a female RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD.
