Rufous hummingbird - LATE AND RARE

I just was invited to a house outside of charlton ontaio where we were able to band a rufous hummingbird this is the 3rd rufous documented in our area over the years . The tempetature was -1C and there is snow on the ground. The rufous was fed before release and photographed. Apparently it has been feeding at this property for a couple of weeks . Hopefully it will be heading south soon. It is the first time we have ever banded a rufous for the north as part of our humming bird research for the Hilliardton marsh research and education center
