Archilochus coloubris

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird. (3.2 grams, 3.25 inches in length)
We have a couple of pairs fighting for time at the feeder!
They are very territorial and the winged dog fight is rather amazing!
No camera can capture it! You must witness it to believe it!

Its also hard to believe that North and South America have all the Hummingbirds
in the world, approximately 150 species, they are found no where else.
Your loss and our gain as they are truly amazing creatures!
