Rufous Hummingbird

24 September 2006, Capilano by the Lake Division, West Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co., IN, USA

    Mark Arvin found the adult, male Rufous Hummingbird while filling his hummingbird feeder during the morning of 24 September 2006.  The bird perched in a large bush next to the north side of the deck.  The bush was visible from the driveway at 3524 Chancellor Way.
