Description
An immature male ruby-throated hummingbird hovers in place while waiting for a turn at the feeder. The immature males have a streaked throat that will turn red over their first winter. It's easy to mistake immature males for females because their coloring is so similar.

Fantastic! l F and I didn' t know that about the males. I will have to check out my gang, I think some I thought were female may be male! L F
Amy Porter replied:
Thanks for commenting, Judy! I appreciate the like and fave! I used to wonder why we had so many more females than males, until I learned that a lot of them were really baby males.
