We don't find this interesting or unusual. Linda & I have feeders here on the North Fork of LI and get breeding RT Hummingbirds every year that nest nearby. We also get them at our feeders in Vermont. If you have seen a rarity I would be interested in seeing it in my INBOX. There are many breeding RT Hummingbirds throughout the State of NY and New England. Thank you Andrew but let's maintain a brevity by limiting our reporting to facts that are interesting to us all. Regards, Rick

I was very surprised since they don't breed around where I live and they should've been through by now. I guess it's just a late migrant north. Pretty neat. Andrew Andrew v. F.
