Just call this hummingbird “Maverick”

[drgngem K]

Female ruby throated hummingbird at feeder in our front yard. If you turn up the volume you can actually hear the wings as it buzzes the camera. I’m not sure if it is normal behavior for them to sit and drink for so long? We have between three and five hummingbirds that come to our feeder. Two males and three females.

Enjoyed the video!

Is this a female or an immature?

Yes, the hummers will "sit and drink" for longer periods of time when nesting is completed and they're stoking up for migration.
