Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are just about done now- we'll see some linger into October and hopefully not into November for their sake!
Another shot of yesterday's quiz bird- if you look at the open wing you can see very small white-based primary feathers, and when bunched together they make a white patch on the closed wing...
