Is this a gorget? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

I'm refering to the red spot on this hummingbird.
The first two photos are a split second apart, holding shutter button down.

This spot is not visible all the time. Of the 30 minutes of viewing and shooting, it shows maybe 10 seconds a minute.

just for show

That's a juvenile male Ruby-Throat. It's the only species of hummingbird we have this side of the US.

It is in the correct position for the gorget, so I'd give a yes answer. Nice pics!

Very nice!

I don't know a lot about them, but you have some very nice shots, there!

Yep, looks like a young male with it just coming in.
