Allen's hummingbird spotted in Holly Hill

[Tina]

Just moved to Holly Hill two months ago and yesterday morning spotted an Allen's Hummingbird in our back yard.

Tina,

What field marks are you seeing to identify this bird as an Allen's? Rufous Hummingbirds, especially young males are often misidentified as Allen's. An Allen's is possible. We just need to make sure that it couldn't be a Rufous.

Thanks,

Steve
