    Ruby-throated Hummingbird

    Several of these common migrants were attracted to hummingbird feeders here. They breed further north and the volunteers remove the feeders in May to encourage them to migrate. This is an adult male showing a black chin framing the top of the glittering red gorget. The ruby red is iridescent...

    Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) female nectaring common sunflower (Helianthus annuus: Asteraceae). This was such a surprise to me because I had never seen a hummingbird nectar a common sunflower before.

    What do you do when the feeder's empty? Give her the stink-eye: she has cats; so don't worry, she'll know exactly what it means.

    That annoying itch you just can't scratch (Ruby-throated hummingbird)

    Don't you just hate that? Unlike many gardeners and birders, I only have a ten-day window to catch this little female Ruby-throated hummingbird. She always stops by, alone, on her way south to wherever during the first or second week of September, and then I don't see her again until the...
