I think we have female Rufous overwintering for past several years. Tail ends are rounded is how I know. First overwintering was a male Rufous here 5 years ago just 1 winter, never returning.
Hummingbirds have been here before JN website was created. Broadtail was our very first. Hummingbirds are in evolution thanks to human efforts. Do keep your feeders up in south.
