I've had a late (and therefore interesting) hummingbird in the yard the past couple of days. Even more interestingly, it seemed to have a slightly downcurved bill, which is not typical for our typical hummer here, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. So I got some pics of it. Those pics showed me that this is indeed just a young, probably male, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, based on the structure of the primaries in the wing. That's not shown very well in this pic, so you'll just have to take my word for it. You can copy the link and past it into your browser if you want to see a larger version.
