Welcome to Project Noah. Appears to be a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird, as it has a white throat and that's the only one east of the Great Plains (according to my book).

IN the first picture, the hummingbird is in the 9 o'clock position on the photo. In the second photo, it's in the dead center of the photo and has "no wings" that flapped slow enough for the camera to pick up. It's leg's are pressed against it's chest tightly.
