Create Wildlife Habitat. Protect the Environment
Mystery Hummingbird
Time to play, so put on your thinking caps. Your clue this week is that this photo was taken in a Botanic Garden near Tuscon, Arizona, so this in NOT a Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
Make your best guess and let us know what you think this is. I’ll be back later with the answer.
