I keep trying to find her in pictures but I can't. She also has a white and black stripe along the bottom of her tail. She could possibly be a juvenile but she is camera shy. This morning, if my camera was out I could have gotten a full on long video of her up close. But it's like she knows it's there and just plays around on the other side. I really don't think it's a Ruby throated but I really don't care what kind it is. I have a little blessing in my yard throughout the day. This morning I was calling her a little brat though. She always manages to avoid that camera 😁... I'm sneaky though and patient. I will shoot her eventually ☺️Looks like a female Ruby-Throated HB, which are the most common there in Ohio. But you guys do have a few types there.
5 Species of Hummingbirds Spotted in Ohio (Photos) - Bird Feeder Hub
In this article, we take a look at 5 hummingbirds in Ohio. We have photos and information about each of these common and rare species.
Wow, 5 Feeders, I have 3, One in front that is emptied quickly, and two in Back about 30 feet apart, to make it harder for the dominant Male to "Hog" both feeders. The hummers will sit in a adjacent tree waiting till the male is not around then dive in, get a slurp, and exit, before the male is any the wiser.
I did get a video of her back today. I only want one more of her back and front and then I'm going to move the camera and quit bugging her 😃. She is getting a little used to the camera so it won't be long. I'll get it.
But I'll bet you have other hummingbirds in your state. Just like here with occidentals. Your yard is so beautiful, I can see why you get them and the Ruby throated just happened to be the ones that took over. I finally found a site with pictures of females. Mine is probably Ruby throated but the descriptions are still undecided as to a red throat on the adult females. This one never has that but that could just be what happens in that little family that keeps coming from year to year.
Glad you're enjoying the weather, Lyn.
It started out sooo hot today. The backyard in the sun was around 103°f until I put up Sapphire's beach umbrella. Then it dropped to about 95°. Well then.... all heck broke loose.😁 A storm blew in. The temperature actually dropped 20° in a few minutes. And lower as it poured cats and dogs 😁!!! and dropped to 68°. In the meantime I had battened down the hatches. It was so windy I laid the umbrella on the ground and brought the hummingbird feeder inside and Sapphire. But in the meantime 😃 this little guy showed up again 😂 second visit. It didn't take him long to learn how to get my seed stacks for the woodpecker.😜
I was freezing 😂 and well I still am 🤣 I have a blankie over my legs 😁 enjoy the remnants of our storm 🙏 I still pray any fallen trees are in the perfect place for you. 🙏😜
Today was hot hot hot. The heat feels like temp was supposed to be 105°f. The truth is my back yard can go much higher than that in the sun. Even so to me yesterday was 10 times worse before the storm and evidently to Sapphire. He's still sitting in the sun. There's a breeze coming off the cold front coming our way 😁. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold and down in the 80's😜😁 I'll be freezing 😂🥶
Ray, I love it! All the SMILES! Quite the clan! Looks like a very happy family you have there!🥰
What a lovely family 🤗 what's the little doggy's name 😊🤗
