When the ruby-throated hummingbirds fledge it’s hard to tell if they are male or female.  Right after they fledge the juvenile male looks just like the female.

Here’s a shot of mistaken identity. I thought for sure I had a female until I blew the picture up. You can just see the start of the “ruby” feathers on the throat.

It’s a boy!

Perry Enterprises make these awesome “Window Watch” hummingbird feeders. They come in 4 different colors (teal, green, purple, and red). Simple yet beautiful design. Easy to clean and fill and they stick tight to the window!

Now for the best part, here’s a ruby-throated hummingbird stopping by my Perry Enterprise’s “Window Watch.” For those that are interested in the feeder here is the model number: #2081

Here’s a great article I found on twitter about what happens when you don’t wash out your hummingbird feeders. I’m not going to spoil to plot but you will be pissed when you read this…
