Karen,
If you could post this information to The Wisconsin Birding List so that other 
people know too, that would be great.  Thank you.

Hi Kathi!

Thank you so much for sharing the photos.  The bird looks very much like the 
female 
Black-chinned hummers that we were seeing at my parents feeders in Sun City 
West,AZ.
last week!  Very easily confused with Ruby-throats!  But I'd go with Rt's 
myself as well.

Karen and Jim,

We are not members of the Wisconsin Birding List, so we cannot post messages, 
hence our private message to you.

We posted the photos on The Hummingbird Forum and a master bander who lives in 
Louisiana, Nancy Newfield (she has 30 years of experience banding hummingbirds) 
identified your bird as a Ruby-throat.  Here is the link if you'd like to take 
a look:

We expect the bird to be leaving shortly, but please keep your feeders up with 
fresh nectar (you will not encourage the bird to stay by doing so.)

Thank for all that you are doing to help this late Ruby-throat.  

Our last hummingbird was seen on October 13 this year, but our latest last 
observed Ruby-throat was October 27 about 5 years ago, so it can happen.

Best Wishes,

Kathi and Michael
