Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the only hummingbird that migrates and mates in Connecticut. It measures about 3" from the tip of the bill to the tail. They are lightening fast. Females have the white throat and males have the red throat.
With the temperatures dropping to mid single digits over night the last three nights , these will be the last that we see here, the makes have been gone for several weeks already.

When this was taken back in March, it was the most photographed Hummingbird in the Bay Area. I waited an hour for my turn after I left for the day hours later, there were many more photographers waiting. This was the first time seeing baby hummers

What a delight to see this hummingbird, sometimes hovering above and sometimes sitting on the mirror of our motor home - maybe trying for a glimpse of him or herself in the mirror-like finish on top?
I don't have my bird books with me, but am pretty sure it is a Rufous Hummingbird. (18-06-02-0884)
This was taken in Costa rica in the gardens of Sevegre. It was taken in natural light with no flash used. This particular species is quite brilliant and has a purple ear. Thus it is called The green violet ear.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects.
During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/sec, 61x/sec when moving backwards, and at least 75x/sec when moving forward.

I had the pleasure of birding with someone around west Texas for the past few days and am just now getting a chance to look through some of my photos. One of my favorite west Texas birds is the Lucifer Hummingbird, I just think they are so pretty.

Tiny Costa's Hummingbird—named for early hummingbird collector Louis Costa—reaches its maximum size at 3.5 inches, making it one of the smallest U.S. breeding birds. Found in hot, dry habitats like the Sonoran and Mojave deserts, the species is an important pollinator of desert plants and cacti, particularly red penstemon.

(I'm sick today, so can't go out and take photos in the rain... instead lying around at home reading and sorting out old photos and hoping my sore throat improves.)
The hummingbird's beak is just a protective sheath for its tongue, which is actually what the hummingbird is using to get the nectar out of the flower.
