There are more varieties here than the book indicates. I've seen them, I just can't name'm.

Ruby-throats are the primary hummer in the East but occasionally a stray from the West flys through.
The Rufous hummer is seen sometimes.

Nice pictures. I don’t think I intended my comment to be authoritative.

Excellent pictures, thanks. I’ve never seen a Caliope in my area.

Spectacular pictures. I get the Black-Chinned and have taken a few shots(with my camera) but they’re always out of focus as they are such busy bodies...zipping here and there, you know.
