[MASSBIRD] Rufous/Allen’s Hummingbird in Brookline

[Matt]

I currently have a Rufous/Allen’s Hummingbird visiting the feeders and flowers in the backyard of my home, 34 Clearwater Rd. in Chestnut Hill (Brookline). Please feel free to visit so long as it’s after 9 a.m. and you park considerately, though I may need to restrict visitors to enable banding at some point this weekend. Please don’t knock on the door as we’re likely working inside or perhaps out and about. There’s a little patio which should afford good views while the bird’s around, so help yourself to a seat, and good luck if you try for it.

Best,
