odd species

there is a species with a drop on its bill. it has a red neck though,and it scares the other humming birds away from the feeder. what type is it? [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.56.238.135 (talk) 18:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

odd article format

I don't know how to fix, but this article is unlike others in that it is white space until after the picture. Jtagchair (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:25, 12 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]

File:Juvenile Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird.jpg to appear as POTD

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Juvenile Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 13, 2013. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2013-11-13.

Picture of the day

A juvenile male Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) hovering. The species, the smallest bird that breeds in the Eastern United States and Eastern Canada, is named after a distinctive red throat patch exhibited by adult males. Females and juveniles, however, do not have such a patch.Photo: Pslawinski

Do hummingbirds have knees?

This article states that hummers don't have knees. Yet online photos of hummingbird skeletons clearly show the femur meeting the fibula in what certainly appears to be a knee joint. Perhaps you meant that the knee joint is concealed under the feathers, or within the body? Or perhaps you are confusing the ankle joint with the knee joint? Please clarify. 2601:2C1:8081:ABB0:68E0:8BB4:626C:8034 (talk) 19:36, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adjusted with this edit. Also well-discussed and changed at the main article talk page. Zefr (talk) 19:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
