I know the picture isn’t that great, but I still wanted to post this. We have this one lonely looking, fat female Ruby Throated Hummingbird that is hanging around. All of the other Ruby Throated Hummingbirds have already flown south, but this gal remains.
I almost feel kind of sorry for her, especially during the recent weather we’ve had (rain). She’s been here about a week and feeds a little bit each day, although you would think she is feeding constantly based on how fat she looks.
Actually there may be another lonely female around as well, but I don’t see that one as much as I do this gal. I wonder if they are just fattening up for the journey south, or if perhaps she will try and hang around through the winter?
