He has twice described his hummingbird as having a yellow throat, and again now that he has taken an even closer look at it. Any ideas what this is? I know that we only have Ruby-throats here, so if that's what it is, why does it keep looking yellow? I know that changes in lighting and direction can make the bird's throat look different, but yellow? and so often? Thanks for any help.
