Male Calliope

Debra Repasz from Houston, Texas has had hummingbirds at her feeders all winter.

"We also have at least 2 wintering juvenile male Ruby-throats in the yard. Plus an over-wintering Calliope hummingbird."

Adult male Calliopes have elongated magenta feathers on their throats and green backs. They are one of the smallest hummingbirds. In the spring, they migrate north along the Pacific Coast up into Canada. In the fall, they travel back south along the Rocky Mountains into Mexico. This photo is courtesy of Debra Repasz
