Re: PESO A Hummer

Thanks for that list Dan. Our neighborhood hummingbirds are back for the summer, as of 2-3 days ago. I had simply assumed Ruby Throated because I had heard that they are the only ones we would see in this region. Based on the links in your listing, I still think what we have are the Ruby

That is a very fine image. I like the posture in which you caught the bird and the way its beak is just entering the feeder hole. You are fortunate to have many species of hummingbirds. Here on the east coast, we have only the Ruby-Throated. There is one in our yard, but I have not been in a
