An Allen’s Hummingbird was coming to a private residence since the week before Thanksgiving. It was banded on 12/17/20, which confirmed the ID of the species. It is the first state record for Wisconsin! The home owner was extremely nice and allowed people to visit her yard to see it! Thank you!!! I tried for it on Saturday morning 12/19, and saw it almost immediately after arriving. It was very cooperative and came to the feeder quite frequently. The last time viewing it, he sat in a few different trees and came to the feeder several times, spending about 5 minutes in view, providing excellent looks. Life bird for me! Photos below are from the morning of. Enjoy!

Fabulous photos! Any theories as to what Allen’s Hummingbird is doing here in Wisconsin? I’ve only seen this one in Tucson Az area.
Thank you! My guess is 5 straight days of very strong SW winds in mid November.
