My father has had a Ruby-throated Hummingbird coming regularly to his feeder
(Loretto, Lawrence County) since late October. The bird has damage to its
bill, causing the base of the bill to be swollen and red. Made me look twice
the first time I saw it a few weeks ago. I took photos then and sent them to
Bob Sargent for id confirmation. I talked to dad a few times during the past
few days. This hummer is still coming regularly to his feeder as of yesterday
(11/11) but he thought he saw it chasing another hummer on Wednesday and
Thursday. He will keep me posted if he sees the other hummer again. I doubt
two Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are staying this late.
