Good day, folks.
Going through my archives, I came across a photo from July 2021; one that I learned something from.
This hummer leaving the feeder in our inner front yard appears to be a female, or an Allen's. Since the Rufous are far more common here, I'm going with that.
Assuming I'm right that it's a female, what I learned is that females can display the iridescent throat patch - I was under the impression that only males do so.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
