adult female Ruby Throated Hummingbird arrived again today at 1:37 pm.

This is an adult female and she's quite territorial as another RTH (possibly another adult female) was trying to eat at the feeder and nectar from the Canna Lilies. This RTH female in the picture kept going after the other one, but eventually when one left, the other came and fed.

I can tell them apart as one prefers to perch and the other does not.

Both stayed until almost 7 pm.
