ebinmaine 69,685 #2 Posted July 23, 2024 If you look up a ruby-throated hummingbird like we have in New England you'll see that the females don't have the colorful throat. Now, those models are slightly larger than I'm accustomed to but then again, I'm a little north of you. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 56,716 #8 Posted July 24, 2024 It is well known that everything is bigger in Texas. Though not shown on this chart I would guess they are Texas Hummingbirds. @oliver2-44 has probably seen lots of them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 10,068 #9 Posted July 25, 2024 Those look kind of small for a Texas Hummer. Down here Hummers compete with Emu’s , for landing rights. But no matter the size, shape or color they all taste like chicken. Yes, this thread has gone to the birds. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
