Matt sent me a photo of this bird (we will be posting it on our website later
today, but please e-mail me if you are interested in seeing it right away) and
I forwarded it to Bob Sargent, Master Hummingbird Bander in Alabama. He
believes that it is an immature male Green Violet-Ear Hummingbird. Matt
indicates that the bird may have left, but Bob thinks it will return again to
the feeder. Hopefully Matt will keep us posted. If it returns, we hope that
Wisconsin's new hummingbird bander, Mickey O'Connor, can come and band the bird.
There have been several other Green Violet-Ear Hummingbirds seen in Wisconsin
and Michigan during the past decade, so this would not be a state record, but
still extremely exciting.

Hi,
A friend sent this photo from Monona, where a friend of hers has had this
unusual hummingbird, at least Wed-Sat.
Looks like a black-chinned?
