Since Charlie brought this up, I'll go ahead and follow-up. I too had my last hummer on October 7. We've had a series of strong fronts in the last couple weeks and with the lack of reports, it's safe to say the bulk of ruby-throats are gone. As such, anyone having any remaining hummers should take a very close look at them for something different, and if you can get a photo that is even better. Some females/young of species such as Black-chinned (which KY has only one record, a young male that lingered into December) will not appear different from Ruby-throated at first glance.
