Lifer and first state record! Confirmed individual continuing since October at a private home/feeder
This is a confirmed Allen’s hummingbird that spent the winter at a feeder station in Riverhead. These photos are not diagnostic as they do not show shape/color of individual rectrices, but photos by others do and I suspect they will be surfacing in the coming weeks. The presence of this bird was not publicized so as to protect the sensitive residential location from being swarmed by birders.
