Lifer!
Anyone know what those light grey bands are on it? They’re reminiscent of a Marbled to me but this is outside its range.
Two individuals. Reported to DEC, as this is not one of the locations on their published maps. Seems to be a decent population, we found both within ~30 minutes in the same area.
tail characters and location make me think they are this instead of peeper
This is a confirmed Allen’s hummingbird that spent the winter at a feeder station in Riverhead. These photos are not diagnostic as they do not show shape/color of individual rectrices, but photos by others do and I suspect they will be surfacing in the coming weeks. The presence of this bird was not publicized so as to protect the sensitive residential location from being swarmed by birders.
