Rufous Hummingbird in Northampton County ~ November 9, 2001

Arlene Koch looked out her window in Williams Township and saw a hummingbird at the feeder. Being November, it was unlikely to be a Ruby-throated and more likely to be a "Selasphorus". She called and asked me to come down and get some photos of it. As expected for that time of year, the bird turned out to be an adult female Rufous Hummingbird.
