Observation details
Continuing immature male and a New England first record. Seen very briefly on 3 separate occasions, visiting the feeder twice, and briefly perching in a rose bush for a few seconds. Very vocal and calling almost incessantly mainly from behind the rose thicket. Very actively flying back and forth across the lawn, but never staying stationary for long. Based on my observations, the bird became visible roughly every half hour or so, wether that be on the feeder or perching in the yard. However, it often remained out of sight for long periods. A great experience with this fantastic hummingbird, and a lifer for me. Will post photos and audio recording soon.
