10/2, Ellington, The hummer made a few visits to my feeder between 0700 and 0900 at which time 

I left for a couple of hours.  From the pictures I got I'm leaning towards rufous.  Mark Szantyr was here and

hopefuly he will have  some more difinitive photos.

Also in back yard, RB NUTHATCH, BLUE-HEADED VIREO and PURPLE FINCH.

Thanks to Carl, I saw the hummingbird in his yard briefly today.  It appears to be a female rufous, likely an adult.  I saw the bird twice in the first 45 minutes I was there and not after.  Adding to his list , I had Siskin, Black-and-White Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, Myrtle Warbler, Golden-crowned Kinglets, and Carolina Wren.
