I have read conflicting information as to when the ruby throats molt. I can attest to the fact that they molt here in the summer. It takes time to be beautiful


Your comments and suggestions are always welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you for looking. Hope you enjoy.

Birdie






1. I might not look it now






2. With all my feathers in a mess






3.But look what I will become






4. When nature makes me look my best

Its great to see the different stages of molt Birdie. Nicely done. About two more weeks and the Ruby-throated Hummingbird migration should be in full swing until about mid-September. It seems as if there is a tricking of migrators on the move now.

Best,
Tom

Interesting post. That could account for me not seeing them until late August and September.

Thanks Tom ! This year was so different. Normally I have the females that hang around all summer. This year I had one male, and now the young juvenile males. I suspect they will be leaving soon
