Of course, they have to stay still, but the Rufous should brown on front and back sides, the Allens are less brown on front. The rare ones for us are Rufous and Calliope hummers. Blackchins and Costas get more common in spring and summer. Orioles should be soon here, the only ones I have ever seen are Hooded Orioles coming in from Arizona and Mexico. Usually, 4-5 pairs show up and raise young ones.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698630071004498780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316188316303738942.post-6984564675914841062011-03-03T10:35:37.169-08:002011-03-03T10:35:37.169-08:00Hi Patrick, fyi I saw several Allen's or Rufou...Hi Patrick, fyi I saw several Allen's or Rufous yesterday afternoon (I can't tell).....but they haven't found the feeders I put up yet. Also put out the oriole feeder in hopeful anticipation of an early arrival. Have you ever seen any really uncommon hummingbird species at your feeders? What about oriole types?<br />Thanks!Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370629675187238850noreply@blogger.com
