Broad-tailed Hummingbirds

Selasphorus platycercus

Habitat:

Feeder at 8,000 ft. elevation

Notes:

It looks just like a Ruby-throated Hummingbird in the first photo! The red-throat is merely being augmented by the light bouncing off of the red feeder. They have an extremely unique trilling sounds that their wings make. The second photo is a female.
