Rare hummingbird Spotted
A bird feeder in Dennis has been attracting a very rare visitor: an adult, male Broad-billed Hummingbird.
The first record of this species for any New England state happened just two weeks ago when a lone bird appeared for a single day in Connecticut.
The Dennis bird, first appeared last Thursday when Ron and Marj Murphy realized they had a very different hummingbird visiting their hummingbird feeders. For confirmation, they called some birding neighbors, Sandra and Charles McGibbon, who were amazed. The bird was still being seen infrequently yesterday.
