I went to the internet and looked up different species of hummingbirds, but 
could not find any that fit the hummingbird that is in our backyard.  I finally 
looked up immature ruby throat, and that is the closest to it.   This bird does 
not act like the usual ruby throats that have graced our backyard.  It is 
aggressive; it soars through the air catching insects; and it even chases the 
monarchs, but again we have never had a male ruby throat, so this may be a 
first time for us.   Thanks for the help.
