Ruby-throated Hummingbird

There are over 330 species of 'hummers' and they are mostly found south of the U.S.A., and only in the Western Hemisphere.   However, east of the Great Plains in North America, there is only the Ruby-throated Hummingbird.  Almost all leave North America in the fall, wintering from Mexico to Costa Rica or Panama.   Some may cross the Gulf of Mexico, but most go around the Gulf, concentrated along the Texas coast.

Please comment if you wish.
