Hello, A neighbor of a colleague who lives in Seabright had a 2-second visit from a hummingbird who seemed to be checking out the flowers in a hanging pot on their deck. The bird was described as being rather drab and mottled and he assumed that it was a very late Ruby-throat, likely an immature. I just spoke with him on the phone and indicated to him that there are other possibilities. The bird had no rufous feathers at all, so it was probably not one of the Selasphorus species which we occasionally get. The other Archilochus hummer (Black-chinned) remains a possibility. He will put his feeders back out this evening and have his camera close at hand in case the bird reappears. If it does, he will contact me and I will post an update promptly. Of course, their regular summer hummers left around the second week of Sept, and he had taken the feeders down around the middle of last month. Cheers, Bob McDonald, Halifax
