The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird is 7-9 cm long with an 8-11 cm wingspan, and weighs 2-6 g. Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill is long, straight and very slender.
The adult male, shown in the photo, has an iridescent ruby red throat patch which may appear black in some lighting, and a dark forked tail. The female has a dark rounded tail with white tips and generally no throat patch, though she may sometimes have a light or whitish throat patch.
The male is smaller than the female, and has a slightly shorter beak.
I have always loved these birds. One of the easiest to get to a feeder in your back yard.
The cache is located about a half mile from parking. The trail has a moderate climb but has few rocks.
The container is now a bison tube, thanks to a very kind cacher. Watch for snowmobiles in winter!
