Feeders can help migrant hummingbirds, especially in drought year.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- An extremely rare albino hummingbird recently visited a feeder at a Lake Waukomis home in the Northland, and the bird may still be in the Kansas City area.
“She sure put some excitement in my days,” Nancy Morrison said. “It was great watching her.”
A normal ruby-throated hummingbird has a black bill, black eyes and black legs, with metallic green back and sides and a bright red patch across the throat. They’re commonly seen sipping nectar from flowers or sugar water from backyard bird feeders.
