Allen's heading to Ontario???

We are going to put the hummingbird feeders back out (and bring them in at night to avoid frozen sugar water) JUST IN CASE!! Dave sent this along to me and I'm sharing it here. Keep watch and have some hummingbird food on hand!

The first state records for Allen's Hummingbird have been documented by banders in Pennsylvania and Ohio in the past three days. Another Allen's was also banded in one of the New England states in the past month.

I would appreciate it if Ontbirders would ask friends, family, acquaintances, etc. to watch for hummingbirds and report them to the Ontario Hummingbird Project immediately if there is any doubt about the species identification. Maybe with all the CBCs in the next three weeks someone will find one.

We can only hope that Ontario will be next.
