An 80-year-old bird photographer, who has captured over 600 different types of birds on camera, snapped some especially rare shots when she encountered a non-native iridescent hummingbird in a front yard in Glendora, California.
Lynzie Flynn lives in Playa Vista, Los Angeles. Like many bird enthusiasts in the United States, she has signed up for a rare bird alert from eBird, a project of the ornithology department at Cornell University. In February, Ms. Flynn received an alert that there had been a juvenile broad-billed hummingbird sighting in the front yard of nature lover Kristin Joseph and her husband in nearby Glendora, and she decided to investigate.
