A Ruby-throated Hummingbird hovers near a feeder in Danbury, Conn., summer 2016

All summer a lone male Ruby-throated Hummingbird has been visiting the feeder in the back yard. This week, however, a female and younger hummingbird showed up as well. Only one eats at a time, however, as the adults are very territorial.
