[Birdtalk] Hummingbirds . . . priceless!

[Mark Stackhouse]

I stand corrected - they are Ruby-throated. It's difficult to see on  
the males because the tails are so widely fanned - but the  
female-plumaged bids lack the rusty tail spots of Broad-tailed. I've  
never seen a place where Ruby-throated's  concentrate in such numbers,  
but forgot about the gulf coast during migration.
