Field Notes

Notes:

A strikingly colorful bird, the Broad-billed Hummingbird reaches the northern limit of its range in southeastern Arizona. Broad-billed Hummingbirds that nest in Arizona are migratory; populations in Mexico are resident year-round in their breeding range.
This one went way off course during its migration from Arizona, and ended up on Cape Cod instead of Mexico.
