The drive back home was very interesting. It took about three hours because of the freezing rain and detours around the many accidents, but getting to see a new state bird more than compensated for it.

Allen's Hummingbird in PA! ~ December 13, 2009
Scott Weidensaul got word about a hummingbird visiting a feeder near Leola in Lancaster County. In the process of catching and banding it, he documented the 1st record of Allen's Hummingbird for Pennsylvania! Arlene Koch and I drove down at first light and got to see this bird in dark and rainy conditions. Here are some very poor photos of it.
