Oregon, Roseburg: Nancy Stone and her daughter reported seeing a white hummingbird in July 2021.

Oregon, near Toledo, OR. Sally Reill reported a white hummingbird that has been visiting her feeder near Toledo. She describes it as follows: “The bird appears to be a Rufous.

There is also another hummingbird that has a white chest, neck and belly with mostly dark gray color on its wings and back, but I have not yet been able to get a picture of it as it always feeds at the back of the feeder.”
