Field Notes

Description:

A small bird. They fly very fast. Usually seem nice, but can be menacing as they get too close and dart around too fast with their pointy beaks.

The males have a bright ruby throat but the females and juviniles do not.

Habitat:

Live in the wooded area behind our house,and come to the neighbor's house to eat from the feeders.
