It’s mid-September, the heat has finally broke, and Female and immature Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are putting on the last few grams to get them across the Gulf of Mexico.
It seems that one criteria for deciding if it is time to go is they can’t see their feet 🙂
As a bonus, this is the time of year when the hummingbird look-a-likes, the Clearwing Hummingbird Moths emerge.
