Hi OKBIRDS,
After a few weeks of weekly checks, I stumbled upon an immature RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD at Myriad BG in downtown OKC late this morning, Sunday, 23 Aug. It appears to be defending the sages and other blooming flowers at north end of Crystal bridge conservatory near the wheel hubcap pyramid sculpture. There were 1-2 female RTHU nectaring there too. Fairly rare fall occurrence away from nectar feeders in central Oklahoma. Otherwise, not much happening migrant-wise. A yellow-shafted Northern Flicker and N. Yellow Warbler were only other transients detected during my visit.
