This just sent in for announcement. Bill Whan Columbus 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.
