Oregon, Roseburg: Nancy Stone and her daughter reported seeing a white hummingbird in July 2021.

There is also another hummingbird that has a white chest, neck and belly with mostly dark gray color on its wings and back, but I have not yet been able to get a picture of it as it always feeds at the back of the feeder.”
