Rufous Hummingbird in Kalamazoo
 
There is a Rufous Hummingbird occasionally coming to a feeder and 
flowers at 3516 Old Colony Rd. on the south side of Kalamazoo. It is at 
Melanie Perry's (ASK Secretary) house. The feeder is hanging from the 
corner of the back porch. Be sure to park on the street, then walk up 
the drive to the garage. From that point you can see the feeder on the 
corner of the porch and the honeysuckle bush that it may come to. So as 
not to disturb the bird please do not wait closer to the feeder. Also, 
please no photography except from the driveway. The bird has not been a 
frequent visitor and the more disturbance means that fewer people will 
have a chance of seeing it.
To get to the house from I-94 take Westnedge Ave. northbound to Kilgore 
Rd. about .6 of a mile. Turn west or left, go .5 mi. to Old Colony and 
turn North or right. Go about .75 of a mi. to the house. The house is a 
two story and the drive is on the right side of the house. If you are 
coming from  north of Kalamazoo it is easiest to follow the directions 
from I-94. If you are coming from, in town, get on Oakland Dr. and go 
to White's Road and turn left or east. About one mile down turn right 
onto Bronson Blvd. Then take the second left (Par-4 Dr.) one block to 
Old Colony and turn right or south. I think the house is the second one 
south of Par-4 Dr. and is on the right.
  Probably and I men probably, the best opportunities would be shortly 
after sunrise (8:30 AM EST) and shortly before sunset (about 5:30 PM 
EST) would give you the most likely chance to see it. This is a first 
county record for Kalamazoo.
 
Good luck,
