Birders,
I have an immature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird visiting my
feeders in Las Animas, CO today. It's been fairly reliable from 8
a.m. through 10 a.m. I have no idea if it's a short or long-term
visitor. Birders are welcome to look for it.
I can note that this bird has a small ruby-colored spot in the middle of it's throat, something I couldn't capture in my photos. I'm sending some pictures that show a shorter bill relative to Black-chinned Hummingbird, and the wing tips that have pointed rather than paddle-shaped tips.

Birders,
The immature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird first found at my feeders in
Las Animas on October 7th is still here this morning. I have no idea how
long it will stay before migrating, but birders are welcome to look.
View from the lawn chairs near the feeders.
