Between about 8:30 and 10:45 the only hummer around was the new Rufous/Allen's. It has apparently driven the Black-chinned away. It perched a great deal, fed at the purple salvia, and occasionally left the garden. I do not know if the Black-chinned was seen earlier or later. Will post photos of the new bird soon.
