Description
Juvenile male ruby-throated hummingbirds resemble their mothers. While females have very faint gray streaks on their throat, juvenile male ruby-throated hummingbirds have much bolder streaks that will gradually show the red iridescence characteristic of their fathers. Young birds may show a few red spots near the base of the throat, and those spots will eventually become a full, colorful gorget after their first molt.
