Male Ruby-throat stopped by early this morning.

2. We only see them during migration

We have buff bellies here year round. A pair has a nest in a live oak tree next door.

3. A few years back, a ruby throat nested in the tree right above me so I could watch the whole thing. It was amazing.

4. Only seeing the occasional male

90% of the visitors are female. Received a Birdfy hummer feeder with two cameras for a gift. It is so cool!

[Walleye]

5. I have been looking at those feeders with cameras.

I think the male stay out of sight when the females have babies in the nest. They will get dive bombed by the girls.

6. Probably true

mothers can be very protective! Love the feeders with the cameras. Got a regular birdfy a couple of years ago with AI that id's the birds pretty well. Misses some, but they have a way to give feedback to correct the mistakes. Just watch for the sales on Amazon they will occasionally lower the price a bit.

With regard to your reply earlier to IbogaProject, I'd be busy too if it got cold cold overnight.
