That reminded me, a Green Violetear was already reported and photographed in northern Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago. That said, unfortunately, it succumbed to a mid-air snatch and grab from a Sharp-shinned hawk..... Had a Ruby-throat fly through the yard a couple of days ago, but we'll see what shows up after this cold snap. Danny Akers Ankeny [email protected]
