In response to questions about time: We saw the Rufous Hummer predominately between 6:20 - 6:45 (this is when I left - but there was till lots of activity). I know he had stopped there periodically in the morning up until about 2:00 and then started making appearances at least around 5:30. But when 6:30 rolled around the feeder suddenly came alive! The Rufous and three Ruby-throat were buzzing boldly around the yard and feeders with a half dozen people looking on in the open not 15 feet away. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
