Bob,
Thanks! Adult male Rufous and Allen's are generally easier to tell =
apart, as Allen's has an all green back, but a very few adult male =
Rufous can have this as well. But the shapes of certain tail feathers, =
provided the bird has them all (!), maked ID of adult males easiest, but =
still not easy. It is the females and immatures that are most difficult, =
and sometimes measurements are the only way to confirm an ID. Of course, =
as stated in my soapbox portion, ID is not the purpose of banding. =
Congratulations for making it all the way to the end :-)

What an amazing find, Allen. I had no idea it took such a detailed =
examination of the tail feathers up close to determine an Allen's from a =
Rufous Hummingbird.
The soapbox section at the end was, for me, the most interesting part =
of the entire piece. Congratulations on the continuing success of your =
banding project. And thanks for sharing your information in such a =
fascinating blog.

Allen,
I hope you tucked the bird in your pocket and had planned to release it in
Monroe on Saturday. That way we could count it for the CBC....:)
Congratulations on a great find.

Subject: [birders] Broad-Winged Hawk & Great Blue Heron
From: Joy Barron <coolsweetjoy(AT)gmail.com>

Hi Birders ~
Yesterday on my way home from work I spotted a Broad-Winged Hawk flying
low in a subdivision around Romeo Plank & M59, This was around 5:15 pm.
The hawk was flying low over some homes through the light snow that was
falling at the time. I wish I had my camera with me! The dark lines on the
edge of the wings were very noticeable.
This morning as I was driving around 15 Mile & Harper around 9:00 am, there
was a Great Blue Heron. I pulled onto I94 W and saw it land in some high
grass along the entrance ramp. Definitely putting my camera in the car this
afternoon!
Happy Birding,
Joy Barron

Subject: [birders] Kensington Metropark
From: James Fox <93fox(AT)earthlink.net>
Date: 16 Dec 2009 5:16pm
I checked out Kensington this afternoon but didn't find much. The
best birds were a Pileated Woodpecker and Great Blue Heron by the farm
center. The lake is almost entirely frozen over and the only birds in
the few open spots were Mute Swans, Canada Geese, and Mallards. There
was a flock of Turkeys under the feeders at the nature center, I have
posted a photo on my flickr site <http://www.flickr.com/photos/22374475@N07/

are from as far away as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Minnesota
and Iowa. If you observed this bird or know of others who did, please
respond directly to me with name(s), city from and date(s) of the sighting.
Thanks,
