Subject: Rufous Hummingbird banded in Putnam Co, NY
An imm./F was banded this morning in Putnam Co, NY, location not revealed out
of respect for hosts' privacy. Bird present at site since 10/10/20; survived
12*F. morning low yesterday. Bird in good health, fat class 2 on 0-3 scale,
mass 3.90 g. Reports to feeder every 20-30 min per host.
Molt condition: 1st 5 primaries renewed; outer 5 slightly faded and slightly
worn retained juvenile primaries. Front 8 mm of forehead plumage renewed,
contrasting with wear and color of retained juvenile head/body; occasional
sheaths on body.
Age confirmed by striations on maxilla, sex by measurements and shape of R2.
Various measurements ruled out other Selasphorous species possibilities.
