95% females on my front feeders. The males are hanging out around the back of the house.


I believe this is an old female.























 
First two images appear to be a juvenile male, with some of the Ruby colored gorget
showing already. A couple threads down, titled 'refilling feeders everyday', I have link
embedded to an ABA article on Ruby-throated molts & aging. If you like, have a look.

Some older hatch year males will display some color in the gorget.
