John Parfet offered this picture of a hummingbird moth taken Tuesday evening at the Parfet place on Madeline Island:
Yes, it’s not a bird, but it is cool, and it has a bird name.
John says two hummingbird moths came through … the first they’ve seen in a couple of years.

Hey John,
I did a post on the same insect several days ago. Cool.
