Archilochus Colubris
Iridescent ruby throat looking black in most lights. White chest contrasts with dark throat, green sides; tail all black, forked. Female green above, whiteish below with white tips on outer tail feathers.
Forest edges, parks, gardens. Most winter in tropics.
This was taken at Buffalo Point in south eastern Manitoba. There are a good number of them there, and come to the feeder all the time.
