Ruby-throated Hummingbird GONE?

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

I'd love to host birders for the Ruby-throated Hummingbird that showed
up this morning at my feeders in Las Animas (Bent County, CO) , but I
haven't seen it in almost two hours, and I fear it may have departed. I
won't post again unless it returns.

Birders,

The immature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird that graced my feeders since
October 7th appears to have departed. It was present through at least
mid-morning today, when I left home for a birding-hiking loop trip. I
did not see it when I returned home in mid-afternoon, and have not seen
it through dusk. I will update cobirds only if I see it again.

I'm really glad I posted this bird, and that seeing it delighted so many
people. I look forward to sharing my next rare bird with the birding
community.
