Observation details

Bird was banded by Allen Chartier. It was recaptured in January 2005 in Baton Rouge, LA by Nancy Newfield. Text from the unpublished portion of my Selasphorus Records for Indiana document: Accepted as a verified Rufous Hummingbird record by the IBRC (#4330-RUHU-009-BOON004). This bird appeared at the same home as [a bird seen in 2003] but there is no certainty it is the same bird. The bird was banded on 3 September 2004 by Chartier and identified as an adult female Rufous Hummingbird. Chartier provided excellent details, including measurements that left no doubt about the bird’s identification. On 20 January 2005, Nancy Newfield recaptured the bird in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This constitutes the first recapture of a banded Indiana Selasphorus.
