A new extreme late date for the Ruby-throated Hummingbird in Highland
County.
A female and not a juvenile male (I think, based on the tail) visited our
feeder and a patch of nasturtiums at our place near Mustoe this afternoon.
We think we saw the same bird yesterday.
The previous documented extreme date for Highland and Bath was September
27th.

We don't know if it's a migrant or a hanger-on from the many we had around
all summer. We're sorry to see them go.
