Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

An immature female Rufous Hummingbird that was banded and officially IDed as such back in November by Wayne Laubscher is continuing at the same location into the new year. I posted about this bird back on November 21st with a few photos of the bird (including some from Wayne from when he banded it), but I stopped by again today and took the photos below. Even though Rufous Hummers are becoming downright common in PA this fall/winter (given the appropriate accommodations, of course), I still really love seeing them every once and awhile!
