Ruby-throated hummingbird.

Ruby-throated hummingbirds, Rondeau provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, July 12, 2019.

Put out a oriole feeder and had 7 hummingbirds on it in minutes.
Then hung up the hummingbird feeder and had 5 more.
We have had as many as 30 in the yard at one time, but that's mid August.

Archilochus colubris
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds prefer to feed on red or orange flowers (though it's not necessary to color the sugar water you put in a hummingbird feeder). Like many birds, hummingbirds have good color vision and can see into the ultraviolet spectrum, which humans can’t see.
