Beautiful with those rubys in the throat. Ruby throated hummer?
No this is a rufous Joe. The "rubys" aren't really red at all. They're
more of a copper color. Also note the rusty color on her sides.
I know, I was just saying that because of the way you got the reds on
this one. I think the ones that named these lovely angels might have
reversed the names if they had seen you wonderful photo.
