Birders, This morning I banded an adult female Rufous Hummingbird in Warren County. At this time the homeowner has declined to allow birders to visit but that could change. I will post to this list if it does. This is also just a heads-up that this fall is shaping up to be another good one for this species in Ohio, and possibly other species as well. As of now, I am aware of 8 Rufous or Rufous/Allen's; 2 in Michigan, 1 in Indiana, and 5 in Ohio. This is twice as many as last year by this date. Allen T.
