Archilochus colubris
Caught at the Innes Point Bird Observatory. Not banded as special training and a special permit is required to band hummingbirds.
That second pic slays me. "I give up! Don't eat me!" Too, too precious!
Yes Sharad, I was doing an internship at a bird observatory at the time. The birds were caught, banded and released as a part of their spring migration monitoring program.
do you actually catch those birds ? i see many of your spottings are hand holded
Prettly little one..he looks exhausted..
excellent
Oops...my apologies.
i looked at it...it does have a green head and i think it is ruby throated
I don't think it is. Alice is right!Great pic though.
The ruby-throated hummingbird is the only hummingbird species that occurs in Ontario, so I'm quite certain that's who it is.
Oh my word!!! He is gorgeous!!
Ruby throat has a green head. I don't recognize this one.
