This morning Joe Brin and I visited a home in Syracuse that still has a hummingbird coming in to the feeders. When I talked to the homeowner, they were pretty certain that it wasn't a Rufous so I had a lot of other ambitions for this hummingbird, with Calliope and Black-chinned showing up recently in surrounding states.
The hummingbird turned out to be an immature female Ruby-throated Hummingbird, although I would love some critical eyes to look over the photos and tell me I am wrong.
