Greetings!
 
I was alerted to a potential Selasphorus hummingbird yesterday which had been coming to a feeder in a tiny courtyard at the Catalyst Life Service building in Mansfield, Ohio. The bird has been present since Thursday.
 
Steve McKee and I traveled there this morning (a very cold and snowy morning) and were able to view the bird and get photos. This is the 4th or 5th Selasphorus hummingbird for Richland County, I believe...per my conversations with Steve McKee.
 
The bird looks to be a hatch-year female. I will post photos on The Ohio Birds Facebook page.
 
The facility where it is being seen is a medical care facility and you need a pass to get into the center. The courtyard is surrounded by the building and can only be accessed from the inside. I am working to see if I can gain access for the public, but it may not be possible. I will keep you posted if the general public can access the facility to see the bird.
 
Good birding,
 
Jason
