Archilochus colubris
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is a small hummingbird with a slender, slightly downcurved bill and fairly short wings that don’t reach all the way to the tail when the bird is sitting. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are bright emerald or golden-green on the back and crown, with gray-white underparts. Males have a brilliant iridescent red throat that looks dark when it’s not in good light.
On an iron ornamental tree. Resting after feeding at the hanging feeder.

Me too :) They are starting to leave now, but new ones are appearing with each weather front.
Love these little hummers!
