AlexHenry Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 My guess would be Ruby-throated Hummingbird, but it’s a tough angle 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 There would appear to be a lack of white on the outer tail feathers, which would suggest something other than a Ruby-throated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Honestly strikes me as a Broad winged, or Broad-billed. Really doesn't strike me as Ruby-throated though. Feels way off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting fact that I just learned, hopefully I get it right. Female and male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have different tail features. The females have round tail feathers with white tips to the three outer feathers, the male has pointy tail feathers that don't show any white. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLecy Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I already liked Alex’s Ruby-throated comment, indicating I agree with RTHU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
