New Family in Town

I have not seen the male with or near the female but we do have a Ruby-throated male that frequents the back patio. The back feathers of the female make her look like she could be a Ruby-throated female. My first guesses were in line with Tucson Jims.

We're located about 85 miles north of Tucson in the AZ desert.

Possibly a female broadtailed hummer? What do you think, TucsonJim? Either that or Anna's or Costa's.

Where are you.

I would guess Greyghost was lucky in being able to take a pitcher of one of them. These guys are quite fast.

We just discovered this creature about 10' from our front door. I'm working on determining what kind of Humming Bird she is. I'll try to keep the pics coming.

Nesting Humming Bird

I don't see no pitchers?
