emtennDescription
This hawk was about the size of a small chicken. I did not get a good look at the underside of the tail. However we seem to have a lot of white tailed hawks in this area.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris)Observer
greglasleyDescription
The regular/expected hummingbird species in the Austin area are Black-chinned and Ruby-throated. Which species predominates at backyard feeders depends upon what part of the area you live in. In my area, 15 miles west of Austin, about 95% of the hummers are Black-chinned, but we get a handful of Ruby-throated as well. This is a male Ruby-throated.

sambiologyDescription
This black-chinned was doing the oddest thing -- it was swooping down around the branches, back and forth, dive-bombing, and making an odd noise... We looked for a female he was trying to impress but didn't see any. Will have to look up this behavior! :)
