Anna's Hummingbird in Shartlesville, Berks County ~ November 28, 2010

Back around late October, Renee Gery noticed a hummingbird visiting her feeder. Eventually, she contacted Jack Holcomb who contacted bander Scott Weidensaul. On November 21st, Scott caught and banded the bird and verified that it was an adult female Anna's Hummingbird, the first record for Pennsylvania! I saw the bird the next morning but never got a chance to get a photo of it. On the 28th, I managed to get these three photos of it.
