["Carole Gobert" <cpgobert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Over the past couple weeks I have seen two ruby throated hummingbirds at my 
hummingbird feeder that I assume were juveniles, but I am not sure.  One had 
a pale pink tinge to its throat and the other had a bright red spot in the 
middle of its throat rather than the whole throat being bright red. Was it a 
juvenile or an adult that's molting?  I don't know.  I don't get a lot of 
hummingbirds and would appreciate any input that you could give me.

Thank you.
