Hi all,
We just received word that the RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD continues in Yarmouth! It is apparently sporadically visiting the Billmeier's feeders once again, but has been inconsistent and sometimes disappears for several days. I do not know of the other location(s) that it must be feeding at.
Here are the visiting instructions from the original post, which I believe is also the text for the "Stakeout" on eBird:
An immature male Rufous/Allen's Hummingbird is coming to a feeder in Yarmouth and the homeowners, Randy and Nancy Billmeier are graciously welcoming visitors.
It has been present since (October) 17th or 18th... at 97 Ledgewood Drive in Yarmouth. Ledgewood is a lightly traveled neighborhood road, but it is rather narrow. Please park along one side of the road only (the homeowner's side/odd numbers) so as not to block traffic. Please be sure not to block any driveways, and avoid turning around in driveways whenever possible. We saw numerous young children out on bikes despite the weather, so please drive very slowly and carefully.
Once at the house, walk to the white picket fence on the RIGHT side of the house. The small hummingbird feeder is on the backside of the bay window. The best line for observations and photographs is several feet to the right of the gate.
Under no circumstances should anyone enter the yard, neighboring yard, or walk in, through, or on any garden beds.
