Hummingbird has straw/yellow color on its back not the usual green. Maybe a Rufous? In summer we saw one hummingbird twice as large, appeared to have different color (gardener said black and white, extremely territorial and was protecting Stachytarpeta and Lobelia from ruby throated Hummingbirds. We have 4 feeders at present; 2 with Nektar Plus, 2 with sugar water. Also taped leaves containing mealy bugs (from greenhouse) to the feeder.High 40s during days and 30s at nights until Dec 1. Also winterized waterfall/stream so hummingbird has a chance to see winter conditions in our garden and migrate before the next cold front arrives.
