Named for the red ...

Named for the red, iridescent throat feathers of the adult male, the Ruby-throated hummingbird is Virginia's only resident hummingbird. In some lights, and at certain angles, the throat of the adult male can appear black. These photos were captured by VMNH Associate Curator of Recent Invertebrates Dr. Kal Ivanov. Even Dr. Ivanov needs a break from studying insects every once in a while!
