A Hummingbird Record for Allendale

_MG_9851
Allendale is in the (birding) record books for a rare Rufous Hummingbird that huImg20211223_10594560ng out at local feeder for nearly five months (late October 2019 to mid-March 2020). 

The bird is usually seen out West.

I learned the news from the current issue of New Jersey Audubon Magazine.

The picture that was used by the NJ records committee appeared very small in the magazine, so thought I would post a few more, and bigger.

(It is a stunning bird.)
