A Ruby-throated Hummingbird
The humming birds enjoy our new feeders and we see the birds throughout our day.
This one, reminds me of "Mumbles" in the movie 'Happy Feet'.
This image was taken in Central Massachusetts.
(Archilochus Colubris) The wing beat rate of Hummingbirds varies by species, with the common Ruby-Throated Hummingbird averaging a wing beat of about 53 per second, seen by the human eye as a blur.

A male Ruby Throated Hummingbird sits on a tree limb just off my back porch. From this spot he had a commanding view of the Hummingbird feeder hanging on my back porch. When any other hummingbird would show up at the feeder he would swoop down and attempt to scare them away from the feeder which he felt belonged to him alone.
