Ruby Throated Hummingbirds Submitted By: Robert Eddleman
Male
Female
There are hundreds of kinds of hummingbirds that nest in the American tropics, and more than a dozen in the western U.S., but east of the Great Plains there is only one - the Ruby -throat. Ruby-throats are very common in Chapel Glen during the summer in the woods and backyards. They get their name from the brilliant ruby colored feathers on the throat of the male bird. The female has a gray throat. Hovering in front of a flower to sip nectar, it beats its wings more than 50 times per second. Impressive migrants despite their small size, some Ruby -throats may travel from Canada to Costa Rica. They hover while feeding at flowers, extending its bill and long tongue deep into the center of the flower. At feeders, may either hover or perch. To catch small insects, they may fly out and take them in midair, or hover to pluck them from foliage. They sometimes take spiders (or trapped insects) from spider webs. Their diet is mostly nectar from flowers, and they will feed on tiny insects as well. They favor tubular flowers such as those of trumpet vine and petunias. . They are frequent feeders at sugar water hummingbird feeders. The best ratio for the sugar water feeder is 1 cup sugar to 3 or 4 cups water. Bring the mixture to a bubbly boil and remove from heat. Let it cool before putting it in the feeder. Sugar water can be mad ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. The very small nest is in a tree or large shrub usually 10 to 20 feet above the ground. It can be found on a horizontal branch or one that slopes down from tree, usually well surrounded by leafy cover. The nest (built by female) is a compact cup of grasses, plant fibers, spider webs, lined with plant down. The outside is camouflaged with lichens and dead leaves. Two white eggs are incubated by the female only and take 11-16 days to hatch. An interesting fact is that the nest stretches as young grow. The female feeds the young. The young take flight at around 20 days.
