This, and the
following 3 photographs, are of a
Black-chinned Hummingbird,
near Harper's Ferry, West Virginia,
in November & December 2006.
It was banded and identified as an adult female.
This species is normally in western North America,
and West Virginia is normally not west enough.
Other hummingbirds from the West
have been in the eastern US in late 2006,
including Rufous Hummingbirds in a few states
(a few photos below).
Also a Calliope Hummingbird in Connecticut,
and yet another hummingbird thought by some
to be a Black-chinned in New Jersey.
