Hi all,

After many years of trying I think I finally have evidence of a mature female Rufous Hummingbird.

clean throat pattern

mature gorget feathers

Any takers?

I get 3 to four adult males each August and about as many hatch year females. The rest are hatch year males, many of them.

I'm on vacation and don't have my hummingbird book, but it looks like one to me. Splendid photos.
