ruby throated male hummer

[adjamieson]

Just spotted my first hummer here in Spring Hill in Pasco county. It was a Ruby throated male. He spent most of his time at the white impatiens. Then later I saw him again at the orange Cannas. Hummingbirds are so fascinating to me. Back home up north I always had feeders out, but I was never sure they were here in Florida. Are they just migrating through or do they hang around?

They come and go in the spring but many come thur in the fall. I have been watching them for a year but hope to find out more in comming years. Sims that nobody know much about these guys in our area. put out a feeder and any red that you can hand up draws them to your yard. Hope this helps some.
