Thought I had sent this before, but don't see it in my Sent Folder. Please forgive if this is being sent again.

Does anyone know the late date for ruby-throated hummingbirds for the Atlanta area? I saw a female ruby-throated hummingbird on 10/7 and 10/8 (assuming it is the same bird). She was feeding actively on the coral honeysuckle growing on the back deck railing.

Also, I have two new life birds for my yard list; a magnolia warbler seen 10/7 and a first-year male rose-breasted grosbeak seen 10/10 and 10/11. He still has a brownish head and the rose ascot is a light pink. He is a very plump bird and seems to hog the bird feeder.
