Might be Ruby-Throated as well in your area. There are so many species of hummingbirds I myself get confused in identifying them. We get Anna's and Allen's Hummingbirds with very few Ruby-Throated.

I just saw my very FIRST bright orange 'Hooded Oriole' and I nearly jumped in the air when I saw it. WOW. I thought it was just migrating but then I saw it AGAIN yesterday. Beautiful bird!

It’s a Scott’s Oriole that I have here I think. There seem to be two or three pairs. Orioles are beautiful, even I will admit that (I don’t care much for birds). Hubby loves watching them all and identifying them.

This is the first year I haven’t had hummingbirds staying around but maybe they will come in later and stay the summer.

I think God is working on me so that I develop an appreciation of His creations. ;)
