I'm on team comedy! Come and get me!

In Michigan, we only get the Rubythroated Hummingbirds (except for VERY rare exceptions), and people often get confused when they either see a female that does not have the red gorget or when a male moves so that the red appears black. I slowed this clip down so you can see how the colors are changing, it is quite magical.

June 24, 2026 - Margaret's Batis or Boulton's Batis (Batis margaritae) Found in parts of Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia, these batises live in forests, sometimes near water, and thickets. They eat insects, foraging in trees in pairs and sometimes joining flocks. One of their nests, found in mid-July in Angola, was constructed from fine grass, mosses, spiderwebs, and lichen pieces in the fork of a sapling, it contained two eggs.
