| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Larry Stone is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Tom Kent, Jim Dinsmore, and Francis Moore. | Elimination of similar species: We did not see any ruby-throats for a comparison while the rufous was present. But when we saw a female or immature ruby-throat later in the day, we remarked that it looked smaller, slimmer and greener than the rufous. [...] The distinct, rusty color, especially on the back, fits no other species. | The original documentation form event lasted from 18:30:00/21:00:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: I set up a camera and flash units and made several color photographs of the bird through an open window at a distance of about three feet. The bird at first flew away when the strobe flashed, but later showed little fear of the light. |
