Hummingbird Garden

Black Hummingbird?

12 years ago

The last couple of days I have seen a hummingbird that is very dark, I want to say it is very black with some gray. I have seen it up close,6or 8 foot away, and it is very much almost all black with some gray. Anyone know what this Hummingbird id called? I am located in north fl. near Pensacola,fl. Thanks.

It's probably a Ruby Throat. Most of my birds look black in the shade. All my feeders are in the shade.
