Ruby Throated Hummingbird (female)

Archilochus colubris

Description:

Grey-green back, white chest, fast mover except when sitting. Lover of my Firebush.

Habitat:

Gardens with flowers appropriate for their appetite. And tiny tree limbs upon which to sit.

Notes:

I watched off and on for three days before I caught her with my camera. If you had looked at the original picture, you would not have seen her. Cropping does wonders!
