Observation details
**Rare, but annual (or nearly so) fall vagrant to Massachusetts. Bird has been present at Matt Garvey’s yard for over a week. It was banded by Sue Finnegan on Saturday, October 30 and determined to be a hatch-year female Rufous Hummingbird. After banding it was seen much less frequently (I dipped on my first attempt on Monday November 1st.), but reappeared a couple of days ago, presumably because its alternative food source dried up. It made numerous visits to feeders and flowers during our ~1 hour stay, feeding and vocalizing. Photos reveal the band, assuring that this is the same bird.
