Teenager Ruby Throat
One immature male ruby throat and one female ruby throat hummingbird are the last two hanging out by the the flowers and feeders. This young male is showing his red feathers and by next Spring when he returns it will be all filled in. He is already aggressive in chasing off others including Cardinals and finches and bees. I shall miss them being around when he leaves in the next few days but will look forward to feeding the migrate birds from Canada and the northern states.
