71:361998-05-30WinonaWinona(record #98– 60, vote 0–10). Although this bird was photographed, most felt the quality of the photos is not sufficient to permit positive identification; one authority on hummingbirds (Nancy Newfield) also viewed the photos and felt they are identifiable as a Ruby-throated. The written description is also inconclusive since it only mentions a “bright rosy throat when it turned certain ways” and a “loud noise with its wings”; however, hummingbird throat colors vary depending on lighting angles, and all hummingbirds can make noise with their wings.
