All Photos taken at Randy Bishop`s feeder in Chapel Hill, NC on January 06, 2001

On January 10, 2001 Susan Campbell caught and banded the hummingbird and made a positive ID adult female Rufous Hummingbird. Thanks Susan for all your dedicated hard work. She only saw one hummer when she was there.

When I visited I did see two hummers one perched and another flying. I really could`nt tell from these photos if this is one hummer or both? I was waiting at the feeder for more than 2 hours and saw hummers come in one at a time about twelve times.
