    Ruby-throated Hummingbird

    Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) looks like a juvenile male though it might be a female. Nectaring red bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus: Myrtaceae). Like a lot of plants it goes by several common names. Some plant taxonomist are placing Callistemon citrinus in the genus Melaleuca.

    Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird The Ruby-throated Hummingbird weighs less than a nickel, and like all hummingbird species including the Calliope and Rufous, it is a master of flight.
