My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Anyone recognize this guy?

last modified: 8 years ago

This is Sentry. He is the tiniest, darkest hummingbird I’ve ever seen. He’s also claimed my feeders as his and is fiercely protective—smacking into other hummers frequently as well as chasing off any other winged creature unlucky enough to enter his territory. He tolerates a few ruby throated females... sorta. He chases the ladies off as well if they linger too long. His rust colored throat is only visible when he’s flying. Is he a young ruby-throated male or a different kind altogether? I’m in Huntsville, Alabama, by the way. Thanks!
