I recently observed something I had never seen before. For a couple of days
last week I observed an immature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird with a nearly
complete bright ruby gorget, black chin and all! Many of the auricular
feathers and face were also already black! The white spots of both sides outer
tail feathers (R5 - R3) of a typical immature were observed as the hummer fed
from a feeder!
It was a sharp-looking little hummer!
