Author Content beckygardener (Becky) in Sebastian, FL (Zone 10a) January 19, 2008 3:34 AM Post #4423672 I thought my hummer(s) were Ruby-throats, but now I am not so sure after looking at this website: [HYPERLINK@www.learner.org] I joined this site to log in my hummer sightings and to learn more. Here is the YouTube link again to a close-up video of my hummer. The back does look green, but it has that white chest and neck, so am wondering if it might be a Rufous instead? Any idea? [HYPERLINK@www.youtube.com] Does anyone know of a good website that shows female hummers? Being new to seeing them, I am sure having a hard time telling what species they are! lauriwilson Caistor (United Kingdom) (Zone 8b) January 19, 2008 3:41 AM Post #4423679 Becky Cute video...she does look confused about the frog.LOL...She looks like a Rufous to me...I had several in Ca. and a pair that stayed all winter. I'll see if I can find the site I had for hummers . It was a good one and set up per region of the states.. Lauri
