I say 'almost' because female and immature hummingbirds can be extremely difficult to identify in the field. The features that point me toward Ruby-throated Hummingbird are the more pointed wingtips and the location; it's obviously not an adult male, but what about immature? Assuming it's a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, the immature male would have more of a golden sheen on it's back. I don't see that in this photo so I'm going with female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. Well done, Gene! Here's my best photo of this species: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/trochilidae/rthumm00.html ;) ;) ;) Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
