I spent about a half hour at Bucky Barnett's feeder this
morning with Michelle, Bucky and Pepper. I saw the Selasphorus
hummingbird and it looks to be a molting second-year (hatched
last year) male RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD. It has considerable rufous
brown on the back, but also quite a bit of metallic green flecking.
The throat is in heavy molt with gorget feathers in the center and
along the margins with splotchy gray and white feathers in
between.

There are also at least 4 ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS coming to
his feeder. I saw a female and to different second-year males.
I saw an adult male there earlier this week.
