The Allen Hummingbird at San Diego in Winter
Online Full Text
On January 26, 1908, I found an adult male Allen hummer (Selasphorus alleni) in a small hollow in the city park at San Diego, feeding upon the blossoms of the tree tobacco. The place was close upon the Fifth Street sidewalk, within a five minutes walk of my hotel, and for three weeks I saw the bird almost daily. To be precise, I listed it fifteen days between the date of its discovery and the 16th of February, the day on which I left the city. On one occasion Mr. Frank Stephens was with me. I am told that there is no previous record of the wintering of this hummingbird on the mainland of California.
