Looks like all 5 are female ruby-throats. Adult males seem to have left during the day yesterday. Apparently have picked up a few migrators. Feeding early in evening was mostly on Wendy's Wish, black & blue salvias, firecracker, and agastache flowers. Later most feeding was on nectar feeders. Female has taken over perching on shepherd hooks that 1 adult male had favored. Continuous action, feeding and aerial chasing. Leaving for evening roosting is still 8:04 pm. Fun to watch the little zippers.
