Hello Folks,

Just wanted to update...the hummingbird was officially ID'd as a Rufous by Nancy Newfield and one of our state bird banders who came to our house. It was also recorded by our seasonal state bird recorder for Nebraska, Ross Silcock...a rare sighting for here in eastern Nebraska. The last Rufous recorded around here was about 5 years ago!
The Rufous was here from 7/28/10 - 7/30/10...and we hope it returns this year :)
Here's a close-up pic of our special visitor...
