| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Larry Stone is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The distinctive bird had rusty-bronze plumage on its back, tail and head. (The contrast with the emerald-green ruby-throats that had been using the feeder was obvious.) The gorget was bright, and more orange than on ruby-throats. The rufous also seemed plumper than a ruby-throat. | The original documentation form event occurred around 12:00:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Usually, the rufous came to a sugar-water feeder a few inches outside a kitchen window, within easy viewing distance of people seated at a table inside. Frequently, the bird perched in a honeysuckle bush near the feeder, or in an arbor vitae several yards away. It was relatively tame, allowing people to approach within 15 feet or less. |
