Hi. I am more of a Raptor/marsh bird i.d.'er, not so much with your coveted Hummers. Don't think we are not enamored with them though!
Please correct my assumptions.
First image is a male Ruby Throated, correct?
The second is either a juvenile male Ruby, or maybe a Black Chinned?
I live in Central Florida on the east coast, not inland.
For the longest time, I thought only the Ruby Throated hummers were here, but come to find out, we have anywhere from 11-13 species that vacation here during the winter, depending on what you read.
Thank you so much in my endeavor to learn.
