I admit! I guessed!

For a period of a few weeks there were orangey hummingbirds in a tree fighting. There are two hummers in this range it could be. They are virtually identical. They say they cannot be told apart in the field. So I guessed. I do not know to this day if I have an Allen's or Rufous Hummingbird.
