Hi all,
I just viewed a Ruby-throated Hummingbird in Yarmouth that appeared at a feeder yesterday afternoon. We received photos which looked good for "just" a Ruby-throat, but I visited the house this morning in hopes I was missing something from the photos. Any lingering questions/hopes I had were dashed however.
That being said, it's still a great record. Through our store we have been promoting keeping up hummingbird feeders into November for over a decade, and our database of observations after early October is growing. When I first got a call yesterday, I was sure this was going to be "a good one." It was Nov 10th after all!
Amazingly, this is the same house that hosted a Selasphorus hummingbird last fall! In other words, it sure does pay to keep those feeders out, even if it's "just" a Ruby-throat!
