Yesterday we had our 2nd confirmed sighting of a Rufous Hummingbird in 
Ohio (that I am aware of). It was in Montgomery, a suburb of Cincinnati. 
Homeowners unsure if they want extra traffic at their home to view the 
bird. If I find out otherwise, I’ll pass it on.

This is our second confirmed Ohio sighting so far this season.

These birds can show up as late as Jan. 15, so keep a feeder out with an 
outdoor spot on it to keep it from freezing from dawn to dusk. More 
information about how to keep a winter feeder is on the HBRC website and 
on Bob & Martha Sargent’s hummingbirds website, www.hummingbirdsplus.org.

Hummingbird photo.
