Nice hannah. Yes, they are so cute, a slash of colour when they fly.
WOW we have a Ruby Throated Hummingbird that comes to our yard every day he is super sweet he comes very close to us!!!! :D
Thanks Joshua for the ID, and for looking over my backlog of unidentified birds. Appreciate that!
thank you valgaavmiko, Joshua has confirmed your ID...
Appears to be Eugenes fulgens but since I'm not strong in birds, I'll let someone else confirm that.
