A mature male arrived on October 20th and a female arrived on the 21st reported Patricia Nethercote from her home in Bagaces, Guanacaste in the foothills of the Miravalles Volcano.

The average arrival date for ruby-throated hummingbirds is October 21st. It’s usually one of the wettest times of the year, but it is warm. Daytime temperatures are typically in the high 80º’s or low 90º’s. Nights are 10-15º cooler.

I took this photo of the female ruby-throat while our resident Cinnamon hummer was dive bombing the male arrival.
