I shall never tire of viewing your photographs of Hummingbirds. How can I even choose a favorite. I guess I’ll have to show allegiance to ‘my own’

Ruby Throats.Congrats,

Plain-capped Starthroat.

Thanks Lor. We had a ruby-throat in Bisbee at a friend's house a few years ago. Love to have a nice male visit the yard!

Congrats on #16! Wonderful photos, Ken. We only get the ruby-throated hummingbird up here (delightful and yet very territorial little devils). I can’t imagine that much variety. 🥰

Thanks Bryn! I imagine your ruby-throats are like our rufous--they spend more time chasing other hummingbirds than feeding...even with multiple feeders!
