C. EICHER 1956 Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) May 24 Winocot Canyon, Center Co., Camp 10:30 AM Saw -> parent at end of 15 ft high chokeberry bush, with back towards us. Slow the solid rufous back, no camming-, but humming birds flying nearby a moment before this one was sighted gave a short buzz about a second long-, may have been this one. 10:40 Same(?) bird perched on small twig in light rain, moved to higher twig. Feathers slightly puffed, at no time did the wings appear very greenish - just rufous - giving appearance of all [illegible] rufous cherrybird with slightly wider berry & red throat patch. Throat patch very dark looking except at certain angles when it looked[illegible].
