Title: Hummingbird? Light markings?
Post by: purpun on May 21, 2014, 09:32:51 AM

Saw this little thing way in the distance at Long Point. It seemed a little big to be a hummingbird, but that's all I can think of looking at the sillhouette. Lower photo is just contrast/brightness played up.

Is it a ruby throated hummingbird? Is that white/light pattern common? Or is the photo just too low quaity to tell.

Yes, Ruby-throated Hummingbird. They have a darker belly, that probably looks extra dark here due to the lighting.
