I've been feeding Ruby Throated Hummingbirds for years and always look forward to their visits ... usually 2-3 birds each year. Last year a strange colored Hummingbird appeared (black with a white or yellow band around its neck). Then this year I had what I thought was a Ruby Throated Hummingbird, but now I am not sure. Its' body was green, white just around its' face, and a brilliantly colored red cap at the very top of its' head. I tried to find out what they were, but was unsuccessful. BTW ... I live in NJ.
