Rufous Hummingbird in Miami-Dade County

[Steve Backes]

I just received a report of a Rufous Hummingbird at Castellow Hammock Park in Miami-Dade County. I did not hear if it was a male or female. A Rufous spent much of last winter in the park. Three Ruby-throateds were also seen in the park.

The Tropical Audubon Society website indicates that two Rufous were seen on September 7th, one adult female and a probable young male. A female Rufous has wintered in the park for the past few years.
